I don't even know where to start. I have these purple splotches on my breasts that change color from a deep purple to burgundy to bright red to pink and everything in between. It started with just my right breast - its on the top around the inside right next to my areola, a rather large area (probably about 2" upwards and about 5" wide). It resembles a bruise, but it is not a bruise. It never goes away, but does change colors. It doesn't really hurt, in fact I have very little sensitivity in my breasts unless im pregnant (which im not right now), or (rarely) pms-ing. I talked to my dr. about it, and he looked at it, said "hmmm, its not a bruise" and wrote something down, but then told me if there is no discharge then its nothing to worry about, and that was the end of it. He said I'm too young (im 32) for a mammogram, and that im fine. Still, its concerning to me. Now I have some "splotches" on my left breast around the areola as well, although it does not cover as large of an area. I am a "big" girl, and have very big breasts - they keep growing even though i am losing weight. And I mean growing. While losing some weight (about 25 pounds) i have grown from a g cup to a j cup, and now im starting to "bulge" over the top of that. It's ridiculous! I have done breast self-exams, but i cannot tell what I feel accurately. I'm sure what i feel is normal (just lumpy muscle tissue or fat tissue or something), but i have this "gut feeling" that something is wrong. I have looked up (some) info about IBC, and while its familiar, i have had this for over a year (maybe longer). I also looked up fat necrosis, and it doesnt seem to fit well because my splotches change in color. I am so lost, and nervous. I don't want to have cancer, but if there is something wrong i want to get help sooner rather than later. Does it sound like something is really wrong or am i just blowing it all out of proportion?
Thank you in advance,
