A small circular mark has appeared on my right boob, its sort of pale brown and slightly indented. The texture of it is a bit funny, a bit like scar tissue. As far as I jknow it appeared overnight , though I may just have not noticed it.

It is about the size of the end of a pencil.

Of course I now think it must be skin cancer ......

Could be ringworm ... (which isn't a worm at all, it's a fungal disease).

Sounds a bit liek ringworm to me too. Its not serious but can be contagious but only on skin to skin contact. Easily cured tho

I think any sort of dimples or indents on your breast need to be checked out by your doctor, especially if it is a change thats happened recently x

Do you have a cat or dog? You can often get ringworm from pets - in which case, the animal should be treated as well. My SIL was treated by the vet for hers(!) - her cat had it, and the vet spotted that SIL had it too.

Does sound like ringworm to me too

DD had it not long ago... a tube of antifungal cream sorted it out. You do have to keep using it though for a few days after the mark has disappeared, or it just comes right back again.

I don't think it's ringworm because I have seen that on a friend's child. better go to the doctor though I suppose.
