Red mark on breast ??

Hi, 

so I was going to take a shower when I noticed a red inflammation spot about the size of a pound (slightly bigger). It had dry skin on top like it was healing but it was the first time I saw it. I felt it but it's no lump or nodes  

 

is this something to worry about ?

    Hi Eloin,

    Welcome to our forum.

    We are always advised to get any breast change checked out, as it is impossible to say whether there is anything to worry about or not. I am not a doctor, just a breast cancer survivor, but would advise you to have a word with your GP. The chances are that it may be something minor like a fungal infection, but you may need cream to heal it up anyway.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
