Q: My nipple is very sensitive and itchy lately. Recently I've been having black spots show up on my breast that has the most itching and irriation going on? What can cause this to happen ?
Hi - Please read our post on itchy nipples; I think it'll help you figure out whether this is something you should see a doctor about, or whether it's OK to wait and see if it disappears. You may have eczema; an allergy; or possibly a rare form of breast cancer, Paget's Disease of the Breast. But please don't stress about cancer; that's the least likely cause for your itchiness, and really, really rare... Hope the itchiness disappears soon. PJH
