Go back to your GP and get a second opinion I had similar pain in my nipple and it turned out to be paget's disease of the nipple. A rare cancer of the milk ducts and nipple.Good Luck.

Hi - I hope by now your symptoms have abated, or you've gotten some help - via your own doctor, or a second opinion. Sorry we missed this question when you first asked it - that sometimes happens, unfortunately... Good luck - PJH
