hi,
I have had a severly itchy nipple with tingling for several months.
have been to the doctors several times and my GP prescribed differenty types of creams and then steroid cream
when i went back to my doctor i mentioned that my breast had been hot and he scheduled an ultrasound which was clear. it showed a 2cm mass which was described as a lymph node.
I've had some discharge from my nipple also so he schedule and appointment with a regular surgeon.
on seeing the surgeon; he performed a breast exam and took a swab of the discharge to send it off and get checked. he also sent me for a mammogram (i looked at the pictures and they look ok to me - not that i know what i'm looking for).
The surgeon asked me to stop all steriod creams/bio oil and to come back on the 23rd October when he will take another look to see how my nipple appears without cream for 2 weeks and perform a biopsy.
i'm trying not to worry. some days though my mind wanders into the thought of what is this? when will i get some answers? am i over reacting and wasting peoples time? what is this funky discharge and why the heck is my nipple so itchy?
