Q about a nipple pimple
by 0713R, Jul 04, 2007 12:19AM
Hello. My question is regarding something that I found on my nipple this morning that I have never seen before. I noticed a clear, kind of amber colored crust on the tip of my nipple (similar to the kind that develops over a recently popped zit on the face.) I hadn't noticed it before this morning. I kind of prodded at it a bit- wondering what it was. I attempted to remove it like a scab. (Sorry if this gets a bit disgusting.) It didn't budge, so I used a tweezers and pulled out a kind of long, yellow, hard, tubular mass similar to that of a blackhead (only with out there actually being a 'black' head on the mass.) I didn't think much of it until I googled to look for information and came across something called 'paget's disease.'
I'm 26 years old, and there isn't a history of breast cancer in my family. I happen to have my annual exam coming up in a couple weeks. However, I also happen to live abroad in S. Korea- so I'm a bit skeptical as far as how thorough my examination will be, and am hoping the international hospital I go to gives me good care.
What should I tell, and expect from my doctor when I bring up this concern? And what would you suggest be done for this concern???? Thank you.

anyway, i wouldn't worry too much about this. it sounds to me as though it was just an average run-of-the-mill pimple. it is not uncommon for a woman to develop a pimple every so often on her nipple. as long as you haven't noticed several of these and they are not painful, i would try not to worry too much about it.
make sure that you tell your doctor exactly what you told us. don't mention paget's disease and see if he does. if he doesn't, maybe you might want to bring it up before the exam is over.
