Accepted Answer

I : I can understand your concern.  As this has occurred more than once, please have this evaluated.  It sounds like an infectious area such as a small area of a skin infection, but this should be tested and a wound culture taken.  It is extremely unlikely that it is cancer, but if you have risk factors and depending on your age it is always wise to get a mammogram. Please see your doctor for evaluation.  If you have increased pain, fever, feel flu-like, or have red streaks or increased redness from the area then you must be seen immediately.

Question 4

what could cause a red and blotchy neck, chest and face when nervous?

Accepted Answer

Autonomic nervous sy: Anxiety, anger and fear often can cause a response from our autonomic nervous system unleashing hormones, neurotransmitters which have body responses like flushing of the skin, sweating, increased heart rate, etc. It would be desirable to see therapist who understands the mind/body connection and could use cbt to help to deal with the underlying precipitants to the nervousness.
