Itchy nipple anyone advise please

I had breast cancer 2019. Inverted nipple . 11 lymph nodes taken. I have recently had a yearly mammogram in May 2024 . No advisery comments. All good. I had nipple and back tissue removed. The other breast/ nipple  has been itchy no discharge on and off over last two months. Not inverted. Should I get this checked for Pagets ?  Any thoughts? Thank you. Trish Pat .

  • Hello Trishpat and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about you being treated for breast cancer in 2019

    Whilst your yearly mammogram was okay earlier this year it is best to get the itchiness checked out, just to be on the safe side.

    It may be linked to a number of things other than cancer but it is wise to speak with your doctor about this.

    I hope everything is okay for you.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Naomi
