What could it be? ****** Cancer? Candida Yeast infection? or What?
By
~Only human~ questioned:
I nursed my son for 16 months, just weaned a month ago.. During the course of that time a small dark spot (not raised, just flat surface of skin) developed near the aerola of my ******. I thought it was due to his having bit me more than once during the course of weaning, or the fact that my skin around the ****** would often crack, and was always healing or bleeding.. Now a month after I’ve completely weaned my son off, my ****** and aereola is peeling and dry. The dark spot appears smaller and faded now, but itches like crazy! I’ve done a full ****** examination twice so far and feel nothing different or wierd. So I don’t reckon it’s cancer, but I could be incorrect. I spoke with a nurse over the phone, she said that it could be candida yeast infection. Does this sound accurate? Does anyone have a clue? I’m waiting for my GYN to call me when they have there systems back up, so far no available appointments till 2 weeks from now. -Extremely Worried-

Dear Only Human,
Please don’t be too worried yet. Most ****** lumps are not cancerous, but only a doctor can tell.
- ****** discharge is a common problem and is not always a symptom of cancer.
- ****** inversion is a common variant of normal nipples, but ****** inversion that is a new development can be of concern.
- Changes in the skin of the ****** include changes in texture, redness and puckering. These changes are usually caused by skin diseases and most of times are not ****** cancer symptoms.
My best regards
