Red spot... when to worry, when to wait?

Would you be worried if the pimple and pink patch were on your arms instead of on your breasts?

Hi Ne0n!

I am sorry you are dealing with this. It can be so scary to not know what it going on with our bodies after all that you have been through.

I had this happen to me around last October where two red pimple like spots popped up and didn't seem to disappear. I kept monitoring them for a few weeks. The waiting got the best of me so finally I headed into the dr. They measured me and took tons of photos with the rulers out. They had me return after 2 weeks for more measurements (and another place had popped up in the interim). The places had gotten a tiny bit bigger so I was sent immediately for punch biopsies of all the spots that day. Long story short - it was NOTHING. It looked alarming and even my onco played it safe by testing everything in fairly short order. He wanted some answers quickly and to give me peace of mind. If it is really concerning you, consider having it checked out if it is not improving or if it is getting worse - esp if you have good insurance. Sometimes you have to be you own advocate. And don't apologize if it turns out to be nothing - just be grateful!

Gentle hug to you. I hope this has resolved itself already!
