I have had a sore on my breast since 2000.
In 2002 they did an ultrasound to ensure
it wasn't cancer. Basically, my doctor
seemed to think I should just live with
it. About 80% of the time it is
accompanied by pain in half my breast. It
hurts even when I am not moving.
Anyway, I went off birth control last year
and was pregnant and the sore went away as
well as the pain. However, since I have
started back on the birth control both the
sore and pain have returned. The sore
seems to start from the inside of my
breast and leaves a penny size opening on
the outside which eventually scabs over
but never seems to go away.
I was wondering if there if anyone knows
what else ins in birth control pills other
than hormones because I think this is what
is causing it. I know the pill tricks
your body into thinking it is
pregnant..But I didn't have the sore when
I was pregnant so it has to be some other
ingredient.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

All I know/can suggest is the obvious - I
think you should look at your other
options besideds the pill for birthcontrol
-it's not very healthy for you, in my
opinion.
