I’m very self conscious of my knees. I’m a healthy weight, but I hate how my knees look for many reasons.
The one I wanted to ask about here is the dark patches of thick skin. They popped up after having kids; I’m assuming from playing on my knees a lot with them. I’ve tried 20% urea and it didn’t seem to help much. Any advice? thank you!!😊
Finally had my mammogram and ultrasound. Bi-Rads 4. The radiologist said afterward that he strongly felt that it was a fibroadenoma or something lactationally related since I found it during weaning. and he said that he strongly felt it was a benign thing. Trying not to panic after reading the actual report though. 🤪 Does anyone have any thoughts?
“COMPOSITION: The breasts are heterogeneously dense, which may obscure small masses. Category C. In the region of the patient's palpable abnormality a mass like density is identified partially along the chest wall centrally and laterally position. This is best seen on the mediolateral oblique view. There are no suspicious calcifications or suspicious areas of architectural distortion.
Sonographic Findings:
IMPRESSION:

Further evaluation with ultrasound-guided left breast biopsy is advised..

I had a normal well woman exam on last Tuesday (breast exam etc). I have been weaning gradually over the past two months. I’ve been down to one nightly feed for a couple weeks, and lately my little one hasnt even really been interested in eating much, so she hasnt been removing much milk. On Friday, I wore a tight bra (dumb I know) and noticed it was very uncomfortable halfway through the day. I took a shower that evening and saw some thicker milk coming from my nipple which normally doesn’t happen. I went to hand express and found a firm grape sized lump at the base of my breast. It’s going on five days. Its a little tender, but I have no signs of mastitis. Im trying not to panic that this is cancerous. I have an appointment with my OBGYN in ten days.
does anyone have any similar experiences?

I officially stopped breastfeeding yesterday, but I’m trying to get my milk to finish drying up.
