Spot on boob

Spot on boob does it look dodgy

I had similar on my leg, was a horsefly bite, had to take double dose antihistamines for a week and oral antibiotics for 5 days. Gp said he had seen dozens locally

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor here's a pic today just now

God that looks sore!

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor it's not at all sore

Well that's a small mercy!

It's weird cos everyone in real life says it looks like it's healing but on here I'm hearing the opposite

How are you OP?

It's good you're getting it checked but for some reassurance whilst you are waiting, i have allergic reactions to some insect bites that look just like that (without being infected). So hopefully it will just be something like that.

Hope it goes well tomorrow.

Hi all thanks for checking in on me. So went to breast clinic yesterday the doctor said he thinks it's nothing serious, he gave a medical term but I can't be certain what it is now as it was long and hard to remember lol but basically it's quite common and sometimes does just randomly happen for no reason. He's referring me to skin clinic for them to do W biopsy just to be certain but he didn't seem worried

That's good news, thanks for updating.

Brilliant news,phew! So not a spot at all?

I have similar, and get them regularly. They're cysts...yours looks like it's burst. Google breast cysts...they're very common, especially if you're heading towards menopause. And totally benign. Obviously, I'm not a medical expert, and only going on my own experience

@Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername I'm only 37!! So doubt it's menopause lol

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I guess I'll find out more once I get my appointment to the dermatologist

Did you find out what it was?

@needynelly56 no. I'm waiting for referral to dermatologist now

It is infected - you need to see a Dr to have it checked and get antibiotics.

Oh ignore my last message - I have seen you have Derm referral!

Back for an update so have a dermatologist appointment on Monday at 3 so here's hoping I get some answers then

Altho I did just read back my letter from the breast clinic doctor who said it looks like a rodent ulcer - which when I typed into google said a type of skin cancer. A very treatable and non serious type but cancer nonetheless

Looks like it’s easily treated with removal under local anaesthetic. It sounds very common although I’ve never heard of rodent ulcer. Good luck.

Gosh. That's a scary way to find out it could be cancer. Rather naughty of the doctor not to have been more explicit.

Hopefully the skin clinic will be more helpful.

How are you generally? Have you told anyone in real life that it could be cancerous?

Hope you're ok.

Hi OP, hope all goes well on Monday.

Thanks everyone will keep u posted

Have told my family it could be non serious. Hubby doesn't actually sound too concerned as he says if it's easily treatable then no need to panic but I would still rather some compassion. Then again he may be different on Monday after I go and see what actually happens as this is all just speculation on what the breast doctor thinks it is but he could be wrong

Cancerous not non serious
