<human>: I am a 68 year old male for past three months I have a stinging painlike sensation when pushing or squeezing area adjacent to left nipple. My doctor, an internist, told me not to worry about it, but I am still concerned about it. When I take a warm bath and put warm to hot water over it with a wash cloth the problem subsides. The left breast feels firmer than the right breast but it is same size. What could this be?
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor.  According to your complaints it looks like an infection around the needle. It may be just an infected sebaceous cyst also. Consult a physician and take a course of painkillers and antibiotics. Usually it should subside. If not, then you will have to undergo further investigations for a proper diagnosis. So my advice is don't delay and get a correct treatment at the earliest as your age fits in high risk category patients. Pl. feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.  Thanks and take care.
