My right nipple and areola have been itching like mad for about 3-4 weeks. On Friday I noticed some puckering of the skin above the areola and felt some distinct thickening of the breast tissue in the area. This morning the thickening seems to have gone!
I am 52 and premenopausal so this is likely to be hormonal - yes?
Should I go and get it checked out anyway, or am I wasting GPs time?

Great news. I fast track all my lump referrals. I would want to be fast tracked so my patients should have the same treatment. You can't tell that a lump is malignant or a change is benign as you will be caught out. Our clinic locally is a one stop shop so in and out in a morning.
