Red sore areola

Hi guys,
I’m just a bit worried. Just around my nipple on the areola I have a red sore itchy bit. I have tried lanolin, antibiotic cream and wet healing but nothing is working. Could this be a sign of breast cancer? I’m a bit worried about going to the doctor. Thank in advance

hi Dbb,
Of all the things it could be, bc is the least likely, but do get it checked out.
