Paget;s disease.: Unilateral, temporary nipple vasostasis of unknown cause, seemingly resolving on contact. This suggests local irritation that causes vasocontraction. Could it be early signs of paget's disease?

Bluish nipple: This may have something to do with the structure of the veins in and around the nipple and the flow of blood within them may vary when touched. If there is any other irregularity or abnormality that you're aware of like lump,firmness,discharge,discomfort be sure to have a breast examination by your physician,gynecologist or a breast surgeon.
