Worried about white speck on nipple

Hi all,

Hi  

I'm sure it's probably nothing, but please get checked out. Your doctor would rather reassure you it's nothing than you ignore it and it be something serious.

Please let us know how you get on.

As Mistymoley has said go to your GP

It could be a wide range of things but no one on here can give you the reassurance a doc will. As awkward or embarrassing as it might be. Go.

We hope to hear a good outcome. If not this site is a fountain of support, gentle hugs and knowledge 

Take care and please postbthe outcome as we know how to party

About 4weeks ago I also noticed a hard white bump on the end of my nipple.  I'm 56, had a hysterectomy 26 years ago.  I tried popping it and could not.  It hurt just to squeeze like that. It is not painful to the touch or any other time. I thought it was just a pimple but it will not pop. I try to forget about it since there is no pain but now I'm getting worried.  Is this sometimes a sign of possible cancer?

It is always a good idea to get any changes to the breast checked out. It could be something simple eg a blocked duct. But only a professional can give you that answer and about possible sign of cancer

We all hope to hear you have made an appointment and that all is well

Take care and get phoning

Hi

I have a white spot on my nipple it does hurt and aches like any other sort of spot, I am 43 I am single mum but my son is 11 did think blocked milk duct but would I get one as my son 11, and would it hurt and ache? I don’t see my gp till next week as I have prolapse discs and degenerated disc disease so take lots of pain killers and not helping with the pain and going to be worrying about it till next week

Hi you must have just joined the community as I cannot tag you in this

As we all always say go to the GP, if you notice any changes to your breasts. If you can get there before the other appointment then do it. Then you can both concentrate on one thing at a time. The reason for that is it will nag away at you and affect you both mentally and emotionally. You have got enough on your health plate without adding more nagging worries.

Just be honest with the receptionist and say I have found a change to my breast and I need to see someone . Times like this be ars**

Right, now you may need to be a bit selfish and put yourself first for a few weeks until the answers arrive. The GP will possibly send you to a breast clinic if they are not sure. That may mean a wait, if you need tests they will explain and they will need time to look at images, biopsy etc etc.again more waiting  But I expect as you have a long term health issue you will know how that feels and will have ways of coping.

But as you are going through all of this you have found a good site where you will get lots of good advice, support, hugs, positive thoughts and all in a non judgemental way. Avoid Dr Google not always as informed as the more reliable sites are.

Time to be phoning your GP

Take care and be gentle with yourself
