Hi everyone, I really need someone to talk to about this. In October 2024 I noticed a small lump (what I thought at first) with slight redness on the front of my breast. The ultrasound a few days later said it was just thickness of skin. It’s now June 2025 and the symptoms have gotten a lot worse. The thickness of skin has grown, the redness has turned light purple and covered 1/3 of my breast and still growing, I have some pitting on the area of thickened skin and the pain is getting worse. The pain is now going into my armpit as well as both breast.
my breast isn’t hard all over, just on the thickened skin part.
I had another ultrasound a few weeks ago and they said the thickness of skin has grown. 2 weeks ago I had a punch biopsy. Today I was told I had a telephone appointment in 2 days to discuss my results.
I’m really nervous. Anyone going through the same?
many thanks
Hi Martini13 welcome to the forum. That sounds like it has Been a challenging time for you over a protracted period of time. This could be absolutely anything and many different things at the same time and anything at this point would be purely speculating.. I'm wondering if you have had your call already or is that still to happen? Gailx
