itchy and or erect nipples

itchy and or erect nipples

I have been having itchy nipples that might last a day or so.  Then for a couple of day my nipples would just get erect out of nowhere.  I am 46 years old not pregnant.  I was wondering if I should be worried about breast cancer or could it be anything else like hormonal.  I read about inflammatory breast cancer but the only symptom I have for that would be itchy breasts and that is only sometimes then subsides.  I don't beleive that with inflammatory breast cancer but I don't beleive from what I read that the itchiness would ever subside like mine does. I didn't start my changes yet but could this be an early sign or should I worry about breast cancer.  Please let me know. Thank-you  Sue

Hi.
Can you feel any lumps in your breast?
Any associated nipple discharge?
Itchiness of the nipples can be caused by a dermatologic problem.
It would be best to consult your doctor for proper evaluation.
For the meantime, you may take any over-the-counter antihistamine to control the itchiness.
Good luck.
