Okay- I am freaking out... Please tell me if you have any reference for this- [View all]

About three weeks ago, my doctor's nurse commented on/asked about an unusual
area on my left breast- I had a mammogram about 4 months ago- completely clean
results, but now I have this WEIRD skin eruption.

I looks like a white bubble on the under side of my left breast- a white "pimple," if you will
but with no "head" just a "bubble." That is the best way I can think to describe it.

My GP and my dermo doctor have both examined it- saw no cause for alarm.
BUT, it is not going away-
Should I demand a biopsy of "it" anyway?

I always imagined Breast Cancer as an internal lump- am I a fool?
Sort of scared...
