overthinking or genuine issue?

hi all, just looking for some advice or guidance to help quell my brain fodder.

i'm on DIY HRT, about to come up to 3 months (4mg estro via gel arms/inner thighs, 12.5mg cyproterone weekly) and all seems to be well in terms of breast bud development and such, but i have some issues that sent me spiraling.

a little while back (maybe 4-5 days), one of my nips became sort of shy in a way i suppose? it developed a crease along the nip itself which i assumed to be some kind of inversion. this sent me spiraling as i frantically googled it (which ik i should NEVER do) and it told me i may have breast cancer of some form?

i'm not experiencing many other symptoms such as dimpling, swelling, no new hard rock-like lumps or anything like that, only other main thing is some minor pink-ish discolouration around the areola. i can feel the breast buds underneath starting to grow which is nice.

i just have been in a pit because i've convinced myself i have breast cancer, is this accurate? am i true in my thoughts and if so where do i go from here? who do i speak to about this? i have concerns about my GP as i'm not entirely sure how trans friendly they are.

or am i just overthinking this and it'll pass after a while? i genuinely appreciate any thoughts or advice given here, so please feel free to speak your mind

y'all are awesome!

edit: forgot to mention, the nip can come out on its own with a little bit of sensitivity, sometimes does it itself as well. just if that's relevant at all.

normal development or concern?

hi all, looking for some answers to try and quell my raging hypochondria. been on HRT for just under 3 months, most recently on gel (4mg estro daily via arms / inner thighs) and 12.5mg cyproterone every 3 days or so. (DIY in UK)

more recently, my right breast has become a little pink to the bottom right side of my areola. it's not warm, not particularly painful, not swelling (as far as i can tell), no dimpling, no puckering or any of that. it's just, slightly pinkish where the breast bud is starting to develop i believe. it has been here for at least 2-3 days at this rate, and i've been stressing out about it cause i make myself panic over any small health problem. :(

is this something i should be so worried about, and if so, where should i go to try and find some help with it? otherwise is this just typical development that i'm overthinking?

i appreciate any support!! <3
