I had posted this in another chat but had no response so trying again here.
I would be very grateful for some advice or opinions, I was due a telephone call from my doctor Friday but that hasn’t happened so will have to wait until Monday to call back.
About 4 months ago I began having intense itching in my arm pit, this then spread to my right breast, particularly around the nipple.
I was also having deep pain inside my breast that seems to go from the nipple back, if that made sense.
it’s so itchy all the time and now so sensitive where I just can’t not scratch it, I’m trying not to, and gently sponge it in the shower but I find it hard to leave alone.
thw skin around my nipple has be some ‘thick’.
Obviously I googled (I know) and the first thing that came up was Pagets disease.
However here is the thing, for the last 3-4 weeks my left nipple is also now itchy, no where near as intense as the right but still there none the less.
I read Pagets would only affect 1 breast which does put my mind at a bit of rest but is this the case? Could it be in both?
I have tried changing washing powder, not using it at all, various creams and antihistamines but nothing is helping.
like I said I will be contacting my doctor again on Monday but would be extremely grateful for any words of wisdom while I’m waiting over the weekend.
Not sure if this is relevant but my dad is from a very large family and the majority of them have had cancer, including him, all the females have had breast or ovarian cancer.
