Immediate Help and Advice Needed! Please?


I have had the itchy, red, scaling, rash on my nipple and around my areola for about 4 months now. My bra sticks to my nipple and when I take it off, it peels off the top layer of skin from the oozing getting stuck to it. It is MISERABLE but only on the areola and nipple. Could this be pagets disease? Has anyone else been diagnosed with Paget's? I'm only 15 so i really don't know if this could be cancer or not, i'm so terrified! And yes i know this is discusting! Has anyone else ever experienced this? I have been so depressed about this! If i go to the doctor what would they do? Any advice would be very helpful thank you!

Sounds like an infection. Use a telfa pad, so it doesn't stick. if you can't get one, make an unreasonable facsimile with some fabric then a layer of plastic so the fabric doesn't get stuck to the bra. then you can take a shower and soak things loose so you don't further damage the tissue. You might try an antibiotic ointment, and see if that helps, or a burn ointment, or vitamin E. Any of which might help the area to heal. It doesn't sound like cancer. Cancer is cells growing too fast, so it is like a lump or a mole (more or less). I don't know about "paget's". For general knowledge, try to find a copy of PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING by the Balch's. There might be a copy at the local health food store you could look at (or the library). It is a very good first source book to look things up in.

I dont think it is a disease, it is probably your detergent u wash with.
Wash your bra out by hand in mild soap and let dry.
Use olive oil on breast or castor oil for discomfort or pains.

You should really go to the doctor, and let them know everything that is happening so that they can prescribe you the right medicine. If you are too afraid to go to your family doctor, make an appointment at the clinic. :) Hope this helps

you really should see a dr within 24 hours to have this checked out. 4 months is way too long to let something like this continue.

the oozing sounds like an infection (could be bacterial or fungal) may be present and you'll need antibiotics to treat it-it will not go away otherwise.

please make an appt to see your dr or talk to your mom or other responsible adult that helps take care of you so they can get you the medical attention you really need.

don't apply anything to the area and put a small square of gauze over it (this can be found at any drugstore) to prevent it from rubbing up against your bra until you can be seen by the dr
