not really but you definately need to get checked if there becomes an open sore.  A friend of mine got that and it eneded up a huge infection and lost her nipple.  Im not trying to scare you but it could be serious.

When you're in the shower, hold one arm up and with your other hand rub your breast around in a circle. If you feel any lumps and it hurts when you touch the lump. Go to the doctor and have them take a test.

No, cancer is caused by a cell mutation. hitting your breast can cause swelling which may make you think you have a tumor caused by breast cancer. There could be injury to the breast tissue,so if you are still having pain in a few days or if the pain is very severe see a doctor. Place a pack of ice over the swelling(with a towel between the skin and ice) to reduce it.

In general, pain or redness of the breast is much more likely to be related to infection or trauma than cancer.  Pain is usually not a symptom of breast cancer.  Some very specific types of breast cancer do cause pain, such as inflammatory breast cancer.  Generally, these are not very good cancers to have.  I suppose breast cancer could eventually cause pain if it interrupted the lymphatic drainage to an area of the breast, but I suspect it would have to be quite large to do so.  \n\nSymptoms to watch out for -- changes in texture or color of the skin of the breast.  Changes of the nipple, including direction it points, and discharge.  And, of course, masses.  If you aren't sure how to examine yourself properly for breast masses, do a Yahoo! search for "vertical strip breast exam" or "vertical search breast exam."

nipple discharge is not just linked to preg, it can be a warning sign of breast cancer. I might be wrong on this but I don't think nipple discharge with preg starts until you are at least a couple of months along. \nbottom line, get to the Dr and get it checked out. It could be nothing serious or it could be serious

please make an appointment to see your gynecologist. You are old enough now that you should be seeing one.\n\nI am not sure if you have cancer, but breasts feel VERY sore and sort of bumpy when they are developing. And darling, you are very young, and this could just be the pains and uneven-ness of your breasts growing.\n\nhowever, going to see your gynecologist is the first step in learning more about breast cancer. She can help you determine if your lump is just growing pains, or something to deal with, like cancer, a cyst or anything else. She can also show you how to do a self breast exam so you can look for lumps yourself and she can talk to you about how to identify them as lumps or normal tissue. PLEASE make an appointment and go see your gynecologist.

Absolutley. Itching is a common side effect of narcotics.

I think that it could be a common reaction to the cream, since they are growing your nipples tend to be stiff from the development happening :-)

You should have your doctor check it out.  Your milk supply decreases as your infant nurses less and less, the milk does not actually "dry-up".  You may have a clogged milk duct, which is usually painful, and can progress to mastitis (infection), where you would possibly be having fever, malaise (general feeling of illness), and redness, warmth & tenderness of the affected breast.  If you have mastitis you will probably need antibiotics.  If you cannot see an MD soon, you can take a diaper and saturate it with hot water, and then apply as a heat-pack to the breast and that may help.  Nursing your infant using different positions can help as well.  Regardless of the cause, you always want to have lumps checked out by your doctor!

have you had it checked? Maybe try to feel if a lymphatic node is enlarged. I know it´s "unmanly" but if you shave your armpits maybe you´ll feel better - some people do! It might be itchy at first because you´re not used to it but it won´t hurt to try, huh?\nIf all else fails, go see your GP. Hope it gets better soon!

LOL Mine do it all the time too...I once had a doctor say that it's cause by a nerve cluster in the aerola (nipple) firing erratically all at once. Try scratching it with a piece of toilet paper or tissue so that you don't scratch it. Also I notice that it's worse when I wear a bra (as the day goes on.) Perhaps there is a small piece of the cloth irritating the area causeing it to itch. Mmmmmm. Try taking your bra off (if the t.p. thing don't work) and washing both breasts down with a damp cloth. That usually helps me.

I can think two reasons. First it may be a Prolactinoma. This is the most common tumor of the pituitary gland. It causes secretion of prolactin that will cause lactation. Or nipple discharge can be a sign of breast cancer. Either way you need to be evaluated.
