wrinkly skin around nipple!

by dalip, Mar 10, 2007 12:00AM
hi
Going to breast clinic on monday for a lump in right breast.In oct of last year my left nipple was extreemly itchy for a couple of wks but did not follow it up for variour reasons.When looking at breasts prior to finding r lump i noticed that the skin around my left nipple is all puckered as though its being dragged across my breast.It goes from the armpit side towards the breast bone.Also when i stand and put my arms above my head the l breast is slightly out of shape/swollen near the breast bone and there appears to be some dimpling.I can not feel any lump. Today i plucked up the courage to get my hubby to look to make sure i was not seeing things and he has agreed with me. I know i can discuss all this on monday but the closer the app gets the more i dont want to go.Has anybody had this and it turned out to be age/nothing ect?.Might add i have benign breast lumps in r breast for many years and my breast are generally lumpy anyway.That has been my main reason for not doing self-examination until recently advised to.Dawn

You are doing the right thing to do SBExams and going to see a doctor.  I had some wrinkling in the skin and nipples and swollen area and a little nipple dicharge.  Went to the doctor and he said that was not a sign.  However, I did have a lump and had it removed and it was cancer.  
Signs like you mention can be signs of BC but best to get looked at by the doctor.  A CT or MRI should show if you have a lump or cyst.  Best to get all lumps removed and tested.
If you have not had a mamo or ultrasound, should have one of those also.  Since you find lumps often you should have them yearly.
Not sure how old you are but don't let them tell you that you are too young to have BC.
I know that Cancer Cares is located in NY they might have information that you are looking for.  
Good luck - hope this helps I have BC and can only advise on what I have experienced.  No med exp.

just got back from hosp.The lump in the r breast is so small he needs the mamo to be able to pin point needle biopsey,although gp felt it ok,but if its moving then its more likely to be a breast mouse.The results should be through to him on friday.As far as the left side goes he feels the wrinkling is most likey age(why not both sides i dont know)but again if there is anything wrong the mamo will show it up.Thanks both for your thoughts and help.Dawn

AGE?!  Do our boobs wrinkle like that as we get older?  Well, I hope it's nothing but that.  Let's pray that the other thing is nothing! I'm glad you had your appointment today.  Keep us posted.

Im not so sure about the age thing either as why only on the one side,but then he's the expert not me.I was dissapointed not to get the reults there and then(like i was told i would by gp!)but i think that was because he thought there were no problems.Will let you know the result of the mamo.Dawn
