strange scabs on breasts

I'm really worried about this random scabs that are appearing on my breasts. They're small scabs but why are they happening? what could it be?

thanks

Go to the dr

Go to the dr, could be nothing, could be cancer, go check it out.Whenever you have a sore, red tender spot, scaly skin patch that looks like fish skin, bumps, a small pea sized stone like lump that doesn't move around, puckered skin, inverted nipple, scab you should go to dr immediately

A suddenly inverted nipple is a reason to go to the doctor, but if they've been like that since puberty then don't worry. Just had to mention that, as it is natural to have inverted nipples. It's just when you normally don't and one suddenly inverts that you should be concerned.

thanks!

theyre just scabs. i'm making an appointment for next week because i have to go for my yearly exam. so i'll be sure to mention that to her.

oh and i was also wondering, last year my results from my pap came back perfect nothing was wrong but i've always felt that i have herpes or somethin i'm going to mention it to her as well but is it possible that the test might have missed something?

thanks again!

Unlikely, unless all she tested for was a yeast infection! You sometimes have to ask for the full gamut of tests.
