Sounds like your nipple might be a little irritated. Have you been doing a lot of swimming, or anything else that might have made it dry? Please read our letter to teenagers for information that should de-stress you. And our teen guide to breast development will be helpful, too. Good luck - and stop squeezing your nipple! PJH

If you've read the posts I suggested, and you're still very worried, then ask your school nurse - I know, embarrassing! – but action is the only way to de-stress yourself. Sounds like you need to find out what's up with your nipple, and get some reassurance from a medical person that it's not cancer. So make a plan - no sense procrastinating. Worry doesn't do anything except make you feel bad... Good luck - PJH
