I have this strange looking rash on my breast.

Hey everyone,

I am completely new to this site and, I was just wondering whether the rash on my breast could indicate an infection. I have nipple piercings and was wondering whether the rash could be indicating an infection there or something else? Sorry if this is vague, I am just worried as it has been present for around 2 weeks. Image shown in link: http://imgur.com/K7h4Kxw

Thanks! X

    I’d make an appointment to see your GP as soon as you can to be sure what it is. x

    As soon as you mentioned piercings, it suggested to me an allergy to nickel 

    Have you been to your GP?  You should go to see him/her

    Good luck

      Hi,

      Thanks for your reply. I never thought of an allergic reaction as I have multiple piercings with the same type of jewellery in. I may have to visit the doctors, it is worrying me slightly as I have experienced substantial weight loss also. I do have a lot of anxiety about phoning and seeing the dr as I worry about wasting time.

      Thank you however,

      I will try and make an appointment asap.
