Hi all, my name is Lyndsey and im 25 yrs old.
And here is my story so far.
For the past yr I have had a nipple discolouration which is a brown/black colour, which I have never bothered worrying about, but 2 weeks ago my lymph node in my neck flared up and has become quite large now, so off I trotted to the doctors and he told me not to worry, go home check for any other lumps and come back if I find anything, or my lymph node is still enlarged, I have been examining my breasts since, but is hard to do so as im 4.5 mths pregnant, however this nipple problem seems to of spread.to the bottom of my nipple, I have no other symptoms apart from shooting pains.
Ive managed to get in the docs at 4.10 but I can not find anything on the net about my condition and the symptoms, as breast cancer does run in my family, could I have it too??
From what I remember, nipples get browner as a result of pregnancy, not sure why but it’s a known phenomenon.
I’ve got pink ones as I’ve never been pregnant.
My mum’s went pink again after she had the babies
how strange biology is eh?

Sorry didn’t realise your problem pre-dates the pregnancy and that you have a family history of breast cancer. Probably best to get it checked out but I have never heard that discolouration of the nipple is a symptom of breast cancer, although exzema of the nipple can be, but very rarely. Pain isn’t usually a symptom of breast cancer either but it can be so it’s best to get it checked out. Good luck
