I am afraid that it’s not possible for us to know exactly what’s going on without proper investigation. The only thing I can tell you is that painful lumps are rarely associated with breast cancer.
I am also assuming that your symptoms could be related to some type of infection which, I hope,will be successfully treated with perhaps an additional course of antibiotic or a different one.
Take care…
I have thought of those but I have not changed any laudry soaps, perfumes, nothing in the past 3 years. so I do not think it could be allergies. It could be just an infection which is what I am hoping for. I found a small marble like bump directly center over my nipple about 1 1/12" up and it does not feel like the fatty tissue it feels different more hard and kind of burns when i put pressure on it.
Hi,
There can be several possibilities that could cause nipple pain and itching.It could be a skin condition, allergy,hormonal changes or infection.Unfortunately (in rare cases) it could also indicate Paget Disease of the Nipple.
Most people with Paget’s disease could also have one or more tumors inside the breast .So it’s very important to see a Breast Specialist who will probably order some tests and ,if need be, a nipple biopsy to obtain a correct diagnosis.
Please keep us updated (Using this same thread) after you see the Breast Specialist and I hope that there won’t be anything to worry about.
Best wishes and good luck!
