Hi everybody. I've had this little spot on my non cancer side that looks like a tiny hole. I thought maybe spitting sutures. I showed MO the tiny "hole" and he said he's not worried about it. But today, that tiny hole has little red dots all around it. And the underside of the breast has peu d'orange. I don't see my MO again until Dec. Anybody has this before? Should I call my MO to try to move up my appt? Thanks yall!

FYI: I have a genetic mutation that increases my risk of bilateral BC.

    You just completed exchange to implants in June - is that correct? Yes, I would call my MO or my plastic surgeon since there's a hole and see if either of them could see you sooner

    Yes, that's right. I might call my PS on Monday. I'm not super comfortable talking to my MO. But would the PS know what to look for as far as cancer? I don't know.

    I think I'll take a pic of it every day for a week or so. See if it's changing or gets better. Then, I'll call a doc.

    I don't think I"d wait a week to make a call though continue taking pics until you can be seen. I'd worry about infection developing. Important you get that looked at sooner than later. Hopefully a not to worry....

    Agreed - with an open "hole" there's more chance of infection.
