    Tiny pink patch which flakes on right nipple!

    Hi there

    The last three weeks ive been noticing a tiny pink raw looking patch about 3mm on my right nipple which almost looks like dry skin it seems to go and come back exactly the same, it's just where the nipple attaches to the areola but mostly on the nipple! It slightly flakes as well like dead skin every few days, It's like in two small cracks too!

    I went to the docs yesterday who had a look and said maybe use some nipple cream for two weeks!

    But after going in the chemist to ask what cream ive been terrible as the woman said to go back and demand to see a breast specialist as her friend had breast cancer ive never been so frightened! Only went on for cream advise!

    Anyone else had this im driving myself daft googling!

    Thanks

    Jayne

    Re: Tiny pink patch which flakes on right nipple!

    I just saw this post. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and treated four years ago at age 36. I had itchy, flaky nipples off and on for several years before being diagnosed. I asked my Oncologist if the itchy nipples were a sign of what I had and he said NO absolutely not!! He said breasts can get dry just like any other body part. He said very very rarely is it a sign of anything significant.
