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

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.

I have a red rash on my breasts. Some are bright red dots and others are just a generalized rash and they itch. Should I be concerned?
