Radiation skin changes: dimpling
Hi all,
I finished radiation back in December (whole breast, 3 weeks, following lumpectomy). My skin has calmed down nicely, darker colour is fading, nipple almost matches the other. However 2 days ago I noticed a large dimple only visible when I lift my arm, in the lower part of my boob (my original scar is closer to top).
I’m very aware that this can be a symptom of a tumour which is freaking me out but can also be just be skin changes following radio.
Would love some reassurance from others who have perhaps had a similar dimple post radio that was just skin changes and nothing sinister.
Thanks in advance, from a chronic worrier!

I ended up with fibrotic changes to some tissues from RT. Contact your radiation oncologist because they will book you in for an ultrasound for peace of mind.
