I am new here and seeking advice. In February this year I felt a scab on the side of my left nipple as it was itchy. I looked online and noticed I had googled it also in October so I took myself to the doctors. My GP said it looked like eczema and prescribed a steroid cream.After 2 weeks the sore patch had not healed so I was sent to the local breast clinic. I had a clear mammogram and ultrasound. The consultant said it was a nipple fistula(I have no symtons of this) and sent me on my way. 6 weeks later I had my follow up appointment with a different consultant and expressed my concerns of Pagets. He checked me over and said no it wouldnt present on side of nipple. Last week I went back to my GP as nipple is burning sometimes hurts and this small patch never heals...it looks like scar tissuse then gets a thick white flake of skin over it that then sheds off. To me this nipple looks different to my other as it has raised areas...My GP has referred me back to the breast clinic and I assume I will have a biopsy this time as it wasnt done before. My appointment is this coming Monday and I am very worried. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get results of biopsy and will it be punch biopsy? Thank you in advance. I should also add I am a young 56 and my mum died of breast cancer age 56.
YAY
Great news, take care
