Hi Nikki - As you say, you're only 14; the chance of you having breast cancer is probably less than 1 in a million, so please don't stress over this. Our post on itchy nipples will hopefully give you an idea of what's causing this; it could be something as simple as a skin irritation, an allergy to a new laundry soap or shower gel, or a bra that's rubbing in the wrong spot. If it lasts another couple of weeks; and certainly if it gets worse, you'd want to see a doctor, as you might have a minor infection of some kind. Also, you might consider telling your mom, or showing this to the school nurse; it's good to share your health issues with someone who can help you do something about them – embarrassing as it sometimes can be! Take care- PJH

It's not Paget's Disease of the breast is it doctor? Because if I compare both of my breasts, the left nipple is like red and larger and the areola is darker compared to the right nipple.

Nikki, I'm not a doctor - just a breast cancer survivor. That's why I suggested you talk to an adult who can help you. As I said, at age 14, it's virtually impossible for you to have breast cancer, let alone Paget's, which in and of itself is a very rare form of breast cancer. Since you seem quite stressed, though, take action: action trumps worry every time. Either speak to your parent or an adult female relative; or to your school nurse; ask them to make an appointment for you to see a doctor, and get your concerns out in front of a professional, who can figure out what's causing this, and get you some help. Good luck - PJH

Thank you so much for lessening my constant worrying! I have been worrying about it ever since I noticed that there was something wrong. I will tell you what happens just in case I tell my mom and she requested for a doctor's appointment.
