potential paget's disease but also health anxiety / age ?

     hello everyone

i have been dealing with paget's disease symptoms for well over a year now , in my left nipple . it hasn't responded to cream treatment and i have a gps appointment with the gp whos seen me since the beginning tomorrow so im going to ask about potentially getting tested . i am extremely worried about it , my maternal grandmother has had breast cancer and i know that paget's disease affects the nipple whereas eczema affects mainly the surrounding surface tissue . i also have a flattened nipple , and the discharge was constantly leaking from it to the point where everyday i come home and it hurts to take my bra off as its leaked and dried , attaching to the fabric of the bra . i am worried to bring this up to my gp as

1 ) i have anxiety , so i dont want her to think im overreacting / immediately assuming the worst

2 ) i have autism + depression , i have history with non compliance with treatment

3 ) my most worrying point - i am young . i have all the symptoms , i match the physical presentations ( ive matched myself to photos ) , i match the difference between paget's and eczema , but i do not match the age . i am scared that i am overthinking massively due to my health anxiety , and that it is simply an infection or eczema . 

does anyone have any advice ? i hope this doesnt come off rude and like im way overthinking it to push into a space where i dont belong . if i do manage to go ahead with testing that rules it out i will update .

  • Hello and Welcome 
    This may well be due to an infection or eczema, but I think the fact that this has been going on for over 12 months means it would be sensible to get tested and you have every right to ask for this. Whatever it is, it needs sorting for you as it must be miserable to have to put up with this for so long.
    Good luck with your appointment tomorrow, please let us know how you get on.
