Pink dimple under armpit
 

Hi HER-2ers,

I had an annual dermatologist full body check on Monday and had a pink dimple under my right armpit (cancerous side) that was biopsied. The doctor thinks it may be folliculitis or a virus like molluscus. My mind is going elsewhere and thinking this could be related to my breast cancer. Has one had anything similar? Like little pink/whiteish dimples under the armpit? Can this be a sign that the cancer is back?

Thanks!!

Marcy,

I have them from time to time usually when I have been outside working hard in the garden and sweating like a porker! If irritated and sore I apply zit cream which works wonders! Please post to let us know what yours turns out to be. My guess is it is nothing cancer related.

I actually had them on my right breast that had the tumor. I was so panicked but found out it was related to my new athletic bra and sweat. I used an anti-fungal cream and it went right away. Hoping it is nothing like mine was - keep us posted!

Thank you both! Got the results a few minutes back and the dermatologist office said it was a benign lymphatic growth likely as a result of radiation and the treatment I had. Who knew something like this could pop up on my armpit skin so many years after! I did stop Tamoxifen after 8 1/2 years due to fatty liver but I don’t think these two events are related. Ah, the joys of cancer! Never stops to freak us out!

Glad to hear is was not anything serious! You are right about the ever present "freak outs!"

I remember having a spot on my chest and the skin doctor gave me a hydrocortisone cream and told me to apply it for two weeks. If it didn't disappear to go back as it likely was a met.
Luckily it went away but that was scary.

Glad all is good there. best wishes,
