A member asked:

Pain in one nipple. itchy around it. ring around the nipple has become lighter than the other. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nipple concern: it should be checked more carefully, women tend to be very observant with breast changes. Have it checked for sure. It all matters if you had mammograms, your family history, do you exercise,!have a new baby or whatever your situation
