i am a 64 yr old woman with no insurance and I am on SS benefits....I have a small rash on my left nipple which will not go away....can you help?
Linda, go to your hospital and ask them what programs they have in place for women in your situation. Oftentimes there are federal programs that will cover the cost of a mammogram or other diagnostic testing for breast issues. Our post, mammograms for underserved women, will tell you more. Good luck - PJH
Linda, this link will take you to information that may help you. Most mammogram centers have grants or other programs to help uninsured women. I know the hospital where I get my mammograms has signs in several places explaining that they can help people who can't afford mammograms. You probably need to see a primary care physician for the rash. It might turn out to be eczema or some other harmless problem. As I mentioned in reply to your other question the rash could also be a cancer symptom, so a mammogram should be part the diagnositic process for your symptoms.
