Cracked nipples and swollen areola
I have cracked nipples since many many years.
I am also observing intermittent swelling and shrinking of areola along with some kind of pain/heat since last 10-15 days.
They are swollen when I observe them and after touching for few seconds/minutes, it shrinks.
Have u obseved such symptoms in patients that do not have cancer?

This may be due to hormonal changes or due to menstrual cycle changes. No need to worry. Looks unrelated to cancer.

Unlikely that you have cancer. Please visit a general surgeon for examination if redness and cracking is persistent.

Your symptoms are not very much suggestive of cancer but I'd advise you to visit a surgical oncologist.
