Spot on boob

Spot on boob does it look dodgy

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor changed for better or worse do u think?

I would draw a line around the redness to check it is not spreading further. It looks more infected than cancerous to me but I am no expert.

I don't know about better or worse but it's changed in appearance and it looks suspiciously like it might need antibiotics to my untrained medical eye. Comparing the 2 photos and the recent one looks much angrier.

I've had antibiotic cream which I've been applying for the last week twice a day

You might possibly need oral antibiotics, I'd be expecting an infected spot to be looking a lot better after a week with antibiotic cream.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor it might not be an infected spot

No, exactly so I'd want it looked at again.

That’s definitely changed. Go back and get it seen again, for sure.

I did actually go back yesterday which I updated about in here and I'm being sent to the breast clinic on Tuesday

hope you’re managing not to worry too much, and wish you a good outcome!

@Ninkanink thanks I'm ok for now. My mum is very religious so she's praying for me and my sons birthday is this weekend so we are having ppl over so I'm concentrating on getting the house ready, doing food etc so am busy which helps.

My hubby and friend say it looks better (the actual spot) but I'm still seeing a fair bit of redness around it which is making me wonder why

Oh sorry, didn't realise you'd been seen yesterday.

Hope it's nothing sinister. I would mark the edge of the redness with a pen and if it spreads get seen earlier than Tuesday.

And if u look closely on the spot there's teeny tiny black specs again no idea what they are

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor that's a good idea I'll get hubby to do that later with one of my sharpie pens lol

It looks very similar to my dh's bites when they get infected and they go nasty fast and need antibiotics. As I said, I'm no medic but it looks angry.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor and does the oral antibiotics clear them up fast?

Yes, within 3 days there's a huge improvement usually. Mark the outline and you will be able to see if it's spreading, if it is the hospital asap.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor ok thanks I've circled it now

Pretty

Seriously though, it's a good way of keeping track of how it's changing, you can look and think it's ok but it's spread.

Hopefully it'll stay put!

My GP has been asking for photos at initial enquiry and then calling back when she's free to advise. Well worth a quick email.

@MilduraS shes already seen it fave to face

Well the circle I drew came off overnight lol. Redness still there but spot now is scabbing is that a good sign?

How does it look compared to yesterday?
