Skin change on breast.

I got a new mark on my breast last year, looks a bit like a light colour mole, but it occasionally starts bleeding, now a new one is coming next to it, and over the past few days a new mark has appeared, but this is more like spider veins. I wouldn’t usually be so bothered but my auntie died of breast cancer last year, and now others in my family have been found to have the BRCA gene, I know it’s unlikely I would have it, but still, is it worth seeing a Gp?

Yes. Like you say, it is likely to be nothing or something minor but worth getting it checked out for peace of mind.

Yes, any changes should be checked out. I would definitely book an appointment.

Any changes in the breast should be investigated. See your GP, ASAP. It's probably nothing to worry about, but wouldn't you rather get it checked & be able to stop worrying, than not know?

Okay, just wanted to check, I very rarely go to the doctors, but I shall make an appointment now, thank you :)
