I noticed some pain in my right nipple yesterday. It is painful to the touch around the nipple itself, but not further out towards the breast area. The area is swollen and puffy with some redness around the nipple. It seemed to appear out of the blue. There was no chaffing from clothing or trauma that would have caused this. I am aware that, although rare, men can also get breast cancer, but it sounds like it involves a painless lump and some discharge. I am hoping I can get some insight here. I am a 34 year-old white male in average shape. Help!!
Hi. I would in such a scenario recommend 2 things:1. Check with your doctor all the medications you have taken or been taking, as some can cause increased sensitivity or even gynecomastia (e.g. cimetidine)2. Check on your hormone levels Best wishes.
