Eczema of the nipple, could this be Pagets Disease?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have experienced this for 4 months now and visited my doctor nearly every 2 weeks since, been referred to Dermatology who I saw yesterday. She was a little concerned as my symptoms were symptoms of Pagets disease. She said for now she will treat it as eczema as that is "more likely" and has prescribed me my 5th, 6th and 7th cream! Told me to see how I get on with that and when I go back, if there is no improvement a biospy will be carried out.
Has anyone else had similar issues and can offer me some advice? I am only 22 years old and usually very fit and healthy. 4 months is a long time to have a problem with your breasts, especially as a young woman! No cream, emollient or antibiotics have worked for me as of yet...

However, a biopsy alway's come in handy, to find out more about this excema.
Both, the scan or the biopsy, don't hurt and I just wonder why your Dermatologist just didn't reffer you to the hospitzal for this.
In all cases, good luck.

But, I'm a man, maybe this could be the difference ??

The ointment the dermatlogist gave me seems to have made it worse and makes it seep more. Yet she booked me an appointment for 3 months time so I'm not sure what to do. I can't wait that long as it's driving me insane!!
I might call my doctor again and request a biopsy.
