Is this dangerous?

[R_1984]

I am 28 years old, unmarried, not pregnant, and not sexually active.
For the past few days I noticed some pain in my left breast, it only hurts when I press on it, I also noticed that when I lift my arm the skin sinks a bit in some areas, when I touch where it is sinking a bit I can feel as If there's this string pulled from the inside. Maybe a duct is inflammed or something. Im just waiting for my gyno to be available, I do t want to go to another dr. What do you think it is.? Should I worry?

Hi,
An indentation or dimple in the breast does not always mean that it's something serious.However it should be investigated as the formation of a tumor can sometimes pull the skin into the breast causing the dimple.
Indentation can of course occur from benign causes,like cysts or fobroadenomas,but without evaluation,it's impossible to say what is causing the indentation.
Many women experience breast tenderness and pain due to changes in hormone levels or fibrocystic breast condition.Keep in mind that pain is rarely associated with breast cancer.
If your Gynecologist is not available soon and you are worried about this change in your breast,then I would advise to make an appointment to see a breast Specialist for a clinical breast exam to make sure that there isn't an underlying problem.
Take care....

Honestly I feel it's best to be overly cautious with these sort of things. I mean it could very likely be completely normal for you, but that's no reason to wait around and assume it's not. If your gyn will be longer than a month or two perhaps you should see a different doctor. At the very least this will help calm any anxiety you have about it, until you see the dr you prefer and trust.

If it starts feeling hot to the touch, you get a high fever, or you start to feel a burning sensation I suggest you see any dr asap. For now though keep a very close eye on it and tell your doctor about any noticeable changes (such as variations with your monthly cycle).
