I have recently gone for a breast exam I am 40 years of age.  I have had my first child who is now 21 months.  I feel a sensation in my right nipple and not too uncomfortable but I have notice a slight pulling and it appears to be a little rash that does not hurt.  I have had a breast reduction at the age of 26.

Eve, you're indeed VERY young to be thinking about breast cancer. However, to set your mind at rest, I'd go back to your GP, tell him/her the cream isn't working, and you'd like to see a specialist - suggest that you want to be extra cautious, so maybe you should see a doctor who specializes in breast issues, whoever that might be. Good luck, Eve- PJH
