Has anyone been diagnosed with the disease? Can you tell me your particulars.


This discussion is related to Symptoms of Paget's Disease of Breast; should I be concerned?.

Nearly 6 months ago i discovered a constant itch near my nipple area. I didn't think it was a big deal so i left it.. up until now and it still hasnt healed. In fact, it's gotten worse. There are times when it itches so much that i just need to scratch and it then becomes red and somewhat swollen, sometimes it flakes or yellow crusts develop from the ooze. Whenever i shower and the water touches the infected area, it burns. Beginning to have concern, i searched this up. Specialists say people over 50/60+ get it ... I'm 16. I'm really worried that i've held this off too long and is now developping into breast cancer.

Should i be concerned that this might be a possible paget's disease?
