Nipple

Hey, I'm so worried of my nipple. I always think the worst of everything all the time and I'm worried it is something serious. I went to the doctors nearly a year ago, as my right nipple is inverted and has like white stuff in it, nowhere near looks like discharge, it's just like flaky, mainly when I get out the shower it appears and maybe from the warmth? I have no idea. I clean it so then it's gone. But now my other nipple, has now has a slit in it, like I can't explain and looks as if it's going inverted or that maybe be me thinking it.  Anyways, doctor said a while ago it was fine she felt everywhere this is when I first ever had it checked. And I had it checked again as I'm still worried it isn't right, the doctor referred me to breast clinic. I have an appointment next Thursday, and I'm just so worried! I feel like I can't be happy or get on with my life knowing I don't know the answer! I'm only 20 years old, 21 this year! And I I'm too young...it's so upsetting! 

  • Hello Wheeler and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the worries your nipple is causing although I'm glad you've been to the doctors and you've been referred. Waiting for tests/referrals is always a challenging time but you're not alone as many of our members have been through this so will understand how you're feeling at the moment and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, I hope this information on Breast Cancer Now will put you in good stead for your appointment next week. Fingers crossed all goes well and you receive good news.

    All the best,
