Re: Dry skin on one nipple - Paget's?!

But now, it's back - on the one nipple only. It's just very dry and flaky. No redness or itching so far, nothing on the aerola. The skin is just very dry to the touch. And I know Paget's symptoms can come and go. I have a doctor's appointment this Thursday and will bring it up, but I am just very worried... Through the rational part of my brain tells me it's unlikely to be sinister. But then I look at my breast and I start to worry again... I know I have a tendency to dry skin, but why would it affect just the one nipple?!
Why does just one of my elbows get dry? Just one of my feet too! It’s just a thing of the body. We’re not symmetrical beings and the body just does things sometimes.
Bring it up with the doctor but likelihood is you just need some extra moisturiser!
