Does Weight Loss Lead To A Lump Near The Armpit?

I had a lumpectomy 13 years ago then after a reoccurance a mastectomy 18 months ago. I have recently been losing weight (2 stone gone of a total of 5 stone needed) i have recently noticed a dimple close to my armpit on my remaining breast and 95% of my brain accepts this is a stretch mark more visable due to the weight loss but do i need to get it checked. Dont like wasting doctors and hospital time when really i think it is nothing but a little doubt remains

Hi

Since you are having a history of breast cancer and is losing weight i would advice you to do a bilateral mammography test to see if there is a recurrence.
But i think you do not need to worry and it is more of a stretch mark.

Regards

DR DE.
