Hello. 
I guess I'm just here looking for some positivity really, but also some reality to it and what the odds are. 
I've had an itchy nipple this week, didn't think anything of it as I do get it occasionally, but last night when getting ready for bed I noticed it had retracted like I've never noticed it do before, like really sunk in. It's not like now and no longer itching either but it is a bit sore, 

My Mum passed away 15 years ago and it was because her breast cancer had spread so I've always been very conscious of checking my boobs and knowing what to look out for! But also it doesn't help my anxiety with this having a family history. (Hers started with a little pea size lump) 

I'm 34, this nipple I also had pierced many years ago, and does tend to play up a bit, I.E after having my babies that boob always leaked the most and took for the milk ti dry up. 
I can't get into see my doctor today as all appointments have gone, so I basically have to spend my weekend worrying about it. 
Does anyone have any stories that are similar to mine and it turned out to be something else? It's not retracted now but does look swollen compared to the other one and feels tender. 
Hope someone has some advice. X
