Since the birth of my last baby I have gotten these tiny brown spots or bump type things all over my breasts... they are very small, like the size of an ant (for lack of a better comparison), some even smaller and some are slightly raised. They look just like skin tags but aren't "tag-like" if that makes sense. I have a ton of them, probably 20 all together. They are mostly on the underside of my breasts but I do have a few on the top also. I never really thought much of it, just chalked it up to hormones, but now I am starting to stress about it being cancer or something bad. Thanks mamas
Doubt it is cancer. Make an appointment with a dermatologist. They can probably be removed if you want.
i had a bumpy weird rash all over my chest after last baby was born, they looked like little pimples 9not squeezable) some were pigmanted, some not. Dr said it was hormones, I left them alone, and they are gone. I hated them!
I had all kinds of weird things..skin tags, broken blood vessels etc...I saw my dermatologist. Put your mind to rest and make an appointment :)
I had several new moles appear during my last pregnancy and actually just had one removed from leg after it became really itchy. Turned out it was nothing, thank God. I would definitely make a dr. appt if you feel nervous though. Nothing is more important than your health and it's ALWAYS worth getting checked out.
Good luck!
You made me remember I had those too, yes, after the baby...I just picked them with my nails... they never came back.
I have those that are tan/dark raised bumps as well as skin tags. More developed with each of my 2 pregnancies. My midwife saw them and was not concerned. Skin tags run in the family--my mom has lots too and we have each had some removed by a dermatologist. One doctor mentioned it is sometimes but not always related to blood sugar issues (like pre-diabetes). I had one borderline high test for gestational diabetes (second test was fine) and no further problems other than being overweight.
Probably not cancer, but it would be a super quick peek from your doctor and he could tell you whether or not it's something to be concerned about! :)
As a comfort, I'll just say that it seems like pregnancy can do some awful things to your skin. I personally have what appear to be large freckles on my chest in odd places, now, and they appeared after the birth of my last child and are definitely not caused by sun exposure! Who knows. :)
