im seriously scared


Question Posted Tuesday August 15 2006, 11:08 am

Ok, i hope you all understand how hard(as in embarrassing) for me this is to ask, but i dont have any other option really. one of my nipples has gotten all hard and dark, kind of like a scab. im really scared, is this a disease that could really affect me? or just some infection that could go away. i already told my mom, and she said we'd go to the doctor next month, because we're quite busy these days. im 16/f if that helps. i have no idea wat this could be. so if anyone could tell me wat it is, thx.

thx a lot. and please, no stupid comments to make me feel scared or stuff like "you're gross"

hmm..i know a few situations this could be. you should see a doctor before next month though. okay, a lot of mothers get the scab thing during breastfeeding soo yeah obviously not, but if you are sexually active & you weren't safe, then this could be it. obviously if you aren't pregnant, then you can rule that one out. it could be from the type of bra you use. if it's the wrong material, too tight, a reaction, allergies, etc. the most likely possibility is breastfeeding though & yeah since you don't im not quite sure. definately get it checked out.

-hope that helped!♥

If you're that scared, don't wait a month to see a doctor, you'll have a horrible time stressing for four weeks. See a doctor as soon as you can. It may be nothing but on the off chance it isn't, the sooner you see a doctor, the sooner something can be done about it. If it's nothing, at least your mind will be put at rest.
Hope that helps and good luck.

It could be all kinds of things from something as benign as a reaction to a bug bite or a simple rash to something more serious.

With most things like this (non life/limb threatening), I myself give it a week or so to see if it clears up on it's own. If it doesn't get better, or it gets worse in that period I go to see my doctor.

If the problem persists, I don't think I'd wait a whole month to get it checked out.
