Patient's question:
From the day before my period, I've had itchy nipples, and there are bite-like bumps around them. They're not red, but the same color as my areola. Now my areola is dark in color. A few days ago it was itchier, but today it's a bit better, though it still itches. I want to ask if there's a problem. I'm worried about breast cancer.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, nipple itching is not a symptom of breast cancer. Your condition should be considered as a case of nipple inflammation. You should go to a local hospital for diagnosis and treatment.Advice: Based on your description, your condition should be treated under the guidance of a local doctor in the breast department of a local hospital. Do not self-treat. Your symptoms are unlikely to be a sign of breast cancer. Please do not worry!
