Hello!
So I’m very extremely worried right now, and wondered if I could get advice. In the last week or so I had noticed that my nipple had become very sensitiveto the touch. Thought nothing of it until it started to get worse to the point where i wince if I brush past it.
I know that pain isn’t normally a symptom of breast cancer so though perhaps it was an skin infection of some kind, particularly as my nipple looked a bit cracked.
Now in the last few days i’ve noticed my nipple going ‘flat’. it’s not completely flat, and neither is it inverted, but it is significantly flatter/pulled in than normal and than my other nipple. It can become more erect, but then will just pull back in, which makes me think perhaps the surrounding area might be swollen? Pain is still occuring.
I’ve also got a deep purple spot on myother breast. I seem to remember it occuring after i squeezed a small pimple, but the sheer size and colour of the thing has got me worried, although I doubt the spot on one breast and pain in the other are related?
I’m only 21 and in the middle of final university exams and so I’m extremely stressed out right now! I’m planning on going to the doctor as soon as I pluck up the courage (I keep convincing myself it’s nothing) but wondered if anyone had any similar experiences?
Thank you!
