What Causes Fleshy Lumps Under The Breasts?
not sure if i should be concerned...57 year old female....i have tiny flesh colored pimples under my breasts and on top of tummy. I thought it was goose bumps. I looked with a mirror. They are invisible (my vision is not great) but I really thought they were goose bumps bu they are there all the time. I noticed a little flesh colored mole growing on tummy too. Is it a yeast infection? Although it doesn t smell and I do not feel itching.

Hi,
It is difficult to diagnose the exact cause of fleshy lumps without a physical examination. However, the fleshy bumps may be skin tags or cysts, which are common benign growths that can develop in areas where there is friction or moisture, such as under the breasts.
It is also possible that it could be a form of folliculitis or an infection of the hair follicles, which can cause small bumps that resemble pimples. Yeast infections can also cause skin irritation and rashes, but typically present with itching and a strong odor.
It is important to have a medical professional examine the area to determine the cause of the fleshy lumps and rule out any potentially concerning conditions, such as skin cancer. It is recommended that you schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider or a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
