hey everyone,


I am 26 years old and noticed a while ago that when I put my hands on my hips and flex my left boob at the bottom looks different then my right. There is an indentation and almost like softer skin when I do it. Not a hole but an indent. I have terrible health anxiety and it’s making me physically sick imagining the worst. It has not gotten any bigger and has stayed the same. I have very large boobs and 2 years ago lost a lot of weight and recently started putting back weight.


when you look online you see horror stories about indents. I know I should get this checked but looking for any advice. My anxiety and depression make me terrified of the dofotr

    Hi Cincy! I don’t have much advice, other than to say I’m sorry this is causing you stress and worry. You’re so young and BC is very rare at your age. Do you feel any lumps or thickness in the vicinity if the dent? Above, below or next to it?

    Weight fluctuation can definitely cause indents!

    That being said, and not to alarm you, but my BC did present with an indentation when I raised my arms. But I am 39 and more at risk than you. I would definitely visit your doctor to put your mind at ease. I’m sure they’ll say it’s nothing! But I also have lots of health anxiety and I’m sure you won’t rest until you hear it from a professional.

    Thanks for the reply. I do not feel any thickness or lumps around or near. It actualyl is not really visible when I left my arm. It is only really visible when I flex and put my hadn on my hips.


    I also can only flex my left boob not my right. It is concerning because I never really checked my breast until one day last year I decided too and noticed it so I guess I have no idea when it came.


    I will absoultely call my doctor and schedule.

    The hands on hip flex is definitely one of the Components of a self breast exam, so it’s good you did that and checked. There can be many causes and unfortunately google only really brings to you one. Keep us posted on what the doctor says :) Many people come here asking about indents and it’s always nice when people update that they got it checked and found nothing!
