Hi,

I hope you are all well

Around 4 weeks ago, my areola turned dark in colour. 3weeks ago, it started getting dry and peeling. I thought it’s normal and moisturised well. Then it became uncomfortable and the drying area now covered my whole areola. Right now it’s drying the area around it on the actual breast. (This is all on the right breast) 

My left side has recently started to be dry too.

I tried to get a GP appointment today but appointments unavailable (as usual)

I did some research (shouldn’t have) and suggests that this may be Paget’s disease of the breast (which is a starter to breast cancer) and it gets mistaken for eczema (which is what I thought)

I just want to know if my issue actually related to a type of breast cancer so I can understand the urgency of finding treatment. Please be honest. 

I Know you can’t diagnose me but if this is similar to anything you’ve experienced, please let me know.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it
