Q: I have noticed a pea sized light brown spot on my left nipple. I am 35 and not pregnant. The spot does not itch, the skin is not changed in texture. Thank you in advance for your answer.
Christine, the best advice we can give you is to keep your eye on the spot. Thankfully, this isn't a typical breast cancer symptom, so please don't stress about that. If the spot starts to change; or if your nipple becomes itchy, sore, or seems infected, then it would be best to see a doctor to find out what's up. Other than that, if there's no change in a month or so, you might want to see a doctor anyway; breast changes lasting longer than a month should always be seen by a doctor. Good luck - hopet his resolves on its own soon. PJH
