Should I get this checked out?

Hi,

I've noticed that more, what look like flat, under the surface, red marks/pimples are appearing on my left breast. They don't look like pimples per sey but they're not a rash or a red mole or anything. However, I'm getting more of them. I am slightly concerned because the left breast is where I have microcalcifications and am on the watchful waiting list with 'diagnosis mammograms' every year instead of the standard mammogram.

I just don't know what this is. It's not a true, raised, fluid filled pimple. They're red, flat, surface like with possibly some fluid in it but hard to say they are pimples and i find it odd I'm getting more of them and only in the one breast. I don't feel lumps or anything though.

Should I go to my OB and ask her?

Hi,
Breast calcification produces no symptoms.What you have, sounds like a skin condition rather than a breast problem.
If I were you,I would first consult a Dermatologist to have a look at these red "marks/pimple" for a correct diagnosis.
Take care...
