A member asked:

My right nipple is very swollen red and sore with a little scaling on the side. does this mean i have paget's disease? i am 22 female

Get seen: Chances are you have a mild infection. Put warm compresses on it and make an appointment with your physician to be seen when it is convenient. And congratulations on your awareness of Paget's -- it may yet save our life, or someone else's, someday. Best wishes.
