puckering of breast

Hello everyone. I was hoping someone out there could provide a little reassurance for me. I am 44y/o. I had a normal mammogram in February (it was my yearly visit). I have had a couple benign breast issues. I had a fibroadenoma removed in my 20s and an interductal papilloma removed 5 years ago. I tend to worry over health issues even though these have been benign. Two days ago I was doing a self breast exam and noticed when I lift my arms way over my head and stretch there seems to be what appears to be a pucker underneath my right breast right where it creases. I don't know if this has always been there because I only see it while standing and really stretching. In the past I have put my arms over my head but have not really stretched so I don't know if it is a new change or not. It is not visible while laying down with my arms over my head which is the position I take at the Dr. for my annual exam. I don't feel anything different and there is not any skin color change. It is in the crease line so I don't know if it is just a continuation of that or not. Has anybody had any experience with this and could help reassure me?. I am leaving for vacation today so will not be able to see a Dr. for a week. Thanks for your help.

I don't see any problem with the delay you mention but I would make an appointment now for some time soon after your return. When there is puckering of the breast tissue there is something beneath the surface that is causing the "drawing" of the tissues. It could be another fibroadenoma but it would wise to have it ck.d out .... anything new/different involving the breast should always be investigated to some conclusion. Regards ....
