Four weeks ago my left nipple started to itch like crazy. Within days it was covered in patchy dry skin however sores were weeping even though I had never scratched it. Spoke to my doctor (no face to face appointment) who gave me antibiotics and a hydrocortisone cream and told to call back for an examination if persisted. Used the cream for 2 weeks but made no difference so on Friday 11th June I called back and was seen at 4pm. I also found a small lump on my right breast that morning so mentioned that too at my appointment. The doctor referred me to breast clinic for the lump and gave me a new cream to try for the nipple on the left. The hospital have just called me and are seeing me tomorrow night. I have had cysts appearing in my right breast for the last 4 years so I wasn't overly concerned but now I am as the appointment is so quick after seeing my doctor. Has anyone else been referred as quick and it not being anything serious?
