What Are The Tests To Be Taken For Dimple On Breast?

I have a dimple on my breast. It did not show up on my last mammogram. My primary care doctor said she does not think it could be cancer, but I have been doing my research and am concerned that I need more tests to determine what exactly it is. Can you please advise me on what tests I should request my doctor to run?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

As per your history, you need a detailed physical examination by a general surgeon of the breast and axilla. Apart from that you should also go for a repeat mammogramme. If all are normal, then it needs close observation, and might need an exicision biopsy in case of increase in size.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the health care magic forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
