Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just now, within the last half hour in fact, I've found a reddish round bump on my boob, right next to the n****e. I noticed it because I was moving my bra and I felt something itchy, so I lifted it up and saw it there. Nothing was there the day before yesterday when I showered, nor yesterday on the art trip into Toronto, when I was being jostled/personal space violated in the mall(I might have felt it then if it was there.).

Right now it feels like a big zit, like when you get them on your back or in other non-face places, but at the stage when it's just a painful bump-thing and you can't pop it because a. it hurts too much or b. it's not developed properly into the stage when you can see the pus/blockage to squeeze out. I tried squeezing it and like with the proto-zit, it only hurt/bled/oozed clear stuff. Now it just hurts.(stupid me).

I've had ingrown hairs in...places before and on aforementioned boobs, and they've felt a lot like this in the early stages but they just haven't been as big, plus I've had odd lumps and bumps on me before - in mostly pants-shitting/cancer worrying inducing locaations like my armpit, in that little space on my neck behind my ear, back of the knee and whatnot, and those all turned out to be stress-related(during exams or friend drama) random buildups of fat/calcium, also caused caused by sitting on my a**/inactivity. They alll showed up in the winter months too, when I wasn't outside as much.

My family doesn't have a history of breast cancer, or really cancer of any kind. But I do fear because usually if weird/potentially harmful medical issues happen, they're usually with me. So if I'm the first...ugh, I don't wanna consider that.

So? Do I Freak out and summon the doctor, or wait for a bit first, tell my mom or something ******** media and making me so damn paranoid about cancer and extremely foolish-feeling for hating gym class. Reading about the side effects of chemo and s**t like that isn't helping either. If this s**t's for real I can look forward to my mouth becoming one big open sore, perpetual exhaustion and my hair all coming out. Fuuuucccckkkk.

Yeah, just leave it alone for a day or so. Sounds just like acne, so don't bother it and I'm sure it'll be fine.

Put a warm wash rag on it for a while, it might help it to feel less itchy.

If it is a pimple, it should help bring it to a head.

A lot.

Also yeah, it's going to get inflamed after you squeeze it. That happens to me with my normal almost-pimples, and the skin on your boob is more sensitive anyway. Do like Zukin said and put a warm washcloth on it. It'll help it stop hurting, at the very least.

I took Dr. Zukin's advice, the rag thing helped a lot, so it's not quite so sore/pronounced as before, just kind of itchy and red.

And maybe Decoy is right, it's a cyst or something like that. I've had one before and it hurt like the dickens as well...

Crisis averted!

I showered ths morning, absentmindedly squeezed it and a bunch of yellow pus shot out of it. Gross, but it took a load off my mind. It's now only kind of swollen 'cause I was pinching it so hard, but yay!

My mom's still pushing me to see the doc on Friday so we can confirm that I'm prone to tit-zits, though. Hah.

Tit zits. Hahaha! I had a lot of them after my breast reduction for a while.
