A member asked:

What should i do for itchy nipple, don't know if i should go to a doctor!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nipple itch: Chances are this is nothing but if you develop an ulcer see your doctor immediately for a breast exam and possibly a mammogram. Some forms of breast cancer can present at the nipple.
