Spot on breast

I've noticed that I've had a spot appear on my boob. It's slightly raised. Very very pale brown in colour and about the size of a pinhead. No lump beneath it, not itchy etc. just minding its own business tbh but just wondered if anyone has the same? Should I get it checked or is it just an age thing that I shouldn't worry about out. Had it for about 3 weeks.

I had something similar years ago. Turned out just to be a skin thing that I think was treated with a topical cream.
However, GP took very seriously and I was referred to breast unit for thorough checks.
Always get something like this checked out!

@Undecided45 thank you :) was yours just on the surface? And did you give it time to attempt to clear before you saw a GP or did you just go straight away?

Yes, it was a rough patch of skin. I didn't really hang around - did a bit of googling and noted the advice around any changes in appearance, so got in touch with the GP. I did feel like a hypochondriac, but they were very supportive, as were the staff at the breast clinic. Better to get it checked out than leave it - for your own sanity!
