Handhold please, redness rapidly spreading in breast

[Maya899]

Sorry to post again about my health.

Last few days I've had a very itchy breast, so much so while out I've had to go to the bathroom to itch it. My nipple then got very sore to even brush against it, although that part hasn't been itchy. Then last night I noticed a lump under my areola and it was very red. Now this morning I have checked it again and the redness has spread about a quarter of a way up my breast overnight. I have rung the GP and am waiting to hear from them. I am not breastfeeding and I foolishly googled and am terrified. Has this happened to anyone else and it not been sinister?

Good luck OP

I have my appointment at the breast clinic today. Hopefully I'll be in and out and everything will be fine.

I hope it goes well @Maya899

Hope it goes well for you.

I also hope it goes well. They are usually brilliant in the breast units.

Best of luck. Will be thinking of you today.

Thank you 💐

Good luck OP. I had the same twice - first time I was sent on a 2ww referral to breast clinic (which I understand is standard). All was fine and likely hormonal changes as I had ceased breastfeeding 6 months prior. Second time, I was diagnosed with non-breastfeeding mastitis - it was awful and I was told off by the GP for not going in sooner! Antibiotics sorted it the second time. Best of luck x

How did it go today, Maya?

Hope your appointment went well and gave you the reassurance you need.

Hope it all went well. Anxiety and waiting puts your life on hold in a terrible way.

@Maya899 hope that you are sorted now

I hope you've been seen and sorted OP.

@Maya899 hopefully you have got the all clear and you are busy just getting on with life but would love to hear that you are ok before taking this thread off my watch list 😊

@Maya899 how are you now? I hope you’re okay!

How did u get on op

@Maya899 I know this is an older post but just wondering what the outcome was ?
