Hello just want to start of by saying i have really bad health anxiety and i know what i have may not be anything to worry about but i would really like someone opinion on this. for over a year now i started noticing these round parts on skin on my breast. i first notice it when i would fake tan and i thought it was due to not exfoliating properly but i realised i had it even without tan. Ive become really worried about it over the past few months and just wanted peoples opinions on it as don't want to book to see a doctor if its normal. sorry if the pictures aren't clear. p.s i have it on both boobs and is more see able when where a bra or holding my boob as your see in the photos imageimageimage

    Hey

    It's natural to feel worried but try to remember that the vast majority of people who go to see their Dr about breast changes don't end up being diagnosed with cancer. If your Dr does refer you to the breast clinic try not to be overly concerned.

    Best Wishes

    Sarah you are obviously worried and you wont stop worrying until you have had a professional opinion. Do make an appointment with your doctor who can examine you properly and reassure you. All women worry about their breasts so your doctor will understand .

      thankyou for your reply. i am going to book an appointment asap as i know it would ease my mind. hopefully its nothing to worry about as my skin doesnt have a rough orange peel feel and seems to be where my hair follicles are. x fingers crossed it will just be something to do with my hair follicles x

    The older you get, the more problematic that will be. Its not a problem and your breasts look fine.
