Hiya, I have had what the gp said was eczema on my nipple (not areola)on and off for nearly a year. Just recently my areola seems to have got bigger and the little bumps on my areola (montgomeries tubules i think they’re called)are more pronounced.One of them has become sore and infected and i have a burning sensation and lumpiness under the areola. I also have a pea sized lump quite deep in my axilla.
My mum has invasive ductal carcinoma with micro lymph involvement and has just finished her a.c, going onto paclotaxel in 3 weeks time.
I dropped in to see the breast care nurses today as my gp had said there was nothing to worry about but it was still playing on my mind. I have been seeing the breast care team for 13 years as i developed with a very marked assymetry (a cup on the left, c on the right) and had a bilateral augmentation after the left one had been stretched with an expander. They did an u/s scan and they have got me an appointment with the consultant next wednesday.
Is there anyone out there that had simillar symptoms?Am I just being paranoid because of whats happened to mum?
