What could stinging pain in nipples suggest?
Patient: I am a 68 year old male for past three months I have a stinging painlike sensation when pushing or squeezing area adjacent to left nipple. My doctor, an internist, told me not to worry about it, but I am still concerned about it. When I take a warm bath and put warm to hot water over it with a wash cloth the problem subsides. The left breast feels firmer than the right breast but it is same size. What could this be? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for choosing healthcare magic.         According to your complains it looks like an infection around the neeple. It may be just an infected sebaceous cyst also. Consult a physician and take a course of painkillers and antibiotics. Usually it should subside. If not , then you will have to undergo further investigations for a proper diagnosis . So my advise is dont delay and get a correct treatment at the earliest as your age fits in high risk category patients.Pl. feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.               Thanks and take care.
