Hi,

I am 45 years old and around 10 weeks ago my right nipple was unbearable to touch/anything rubbed against it I could have gone through the roof. I had been suffering from sharp shooting pains (still am but not as much) through my nipple. I then noticed a yellow patch/discharge coming from the nipple. I went to see my GP who examined me and prescribed antibiotics for what she thinks was an infection. 

That weekend my nipple bled once (I'm thinking this is normal with an infection?) I finished my 2 week dose of antibitotics though the discharge has gone the shooting pain is still there (though not as bad) The nipple can become sore and sensitive to touch. It has also began to itch (I could rip it off sometimes!). I am booked in at the breast clinic this week. 

I just wondered whether anyone else had experienced something similar that did only turn out to be an infection or whether it was Pagets. 

Thank you :-)
