Question....should I be worried? - Cancer: Breast Message Board

Hi,
For the past year my right nipple has been itching. I also seem to have some discharge and pain. It is not bad pain just uncomfortable when I brush against it on accident. The skin on my nipple seems to be peeling or something. If it was some kind of infection wouldn't it be in both nipples? I'm getting a little worried that it might be paget's disease. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I have a doctor's appointment tommorrow but I have little faith in my PCM.
Thanks for any help!

The itching can come from several problems. However, discharge is something a doctor should check. Both nipples don't have to be affected.

If you question the abilities and concern of your doctor, switch. I switched, and it was well worth the trouble.

How did your appointment go?
