Unusual breast symptoms

Hello, four days ago my nipple and Breast was very sore and tender. When I woke up the next day my right nipple was red and lumpy, with a burning sensation. Being the weekend I slept on it waiting for Monday to phone the doctors, and woke up with a red/yellow rash around my nipple where the red lumps had been and a couple yellow spots on my left nipple. 

 

I went to the doctor’s today and they couldn’t find any lumps, however the doctor was stumped. He noticed my nipple was also inverted, and couldn’t give any explanation to the rash or the burning. He suggested I wait until my period (in two weeks) to see if it passes and if not I’m being referred. The waiting is already killing me. Has anyone had the same? 

  • Hi Bc1234,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries. The waiting can be incredibly difficult, especially when there is this uncertainty.

    While I can't offer any specific advice, I would just suggest trying to take your mind off things while you're waiting, and to keep yourself busy to distract you. I know this isn't always easy.

    Otherwise hopefully some others will be along here soon if they have any similar experiences to share.

    Meanwhile I hope the next couple of weeks go OK for you, and I hope you get some answers soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
