discoloured circle?

along with other symptoms iv noticed i have a circular area in my areola which is a paler whitish colour then the rest of it. its amost like an ulcer except it isnt sore or raised at all, its just that sort of colour. im having tests done and stuff, but just wondered if anyone else had experienced this type of thing?
thanks

mm i just dont think its an infection because u generally have raised temp and i guess it would be painful to touch and red.
i know what white patches u mean re ur daughter, but i dont think its like that. goodness knows.

Hi.I don't know what your other symptoms are,but my daughter had little white round   patches on the face (at the end of summer) and the doctor said it was fungal infection.I am pleased that you are having tests done.I know that the skin of the breast is like all other skin of the body and at times infections can happen also there.Best wishes.
