Itching nipple
Almost 18 months back I had symptoms of severe itching near both my areola, serous discharge and scaly lesions that would shed after I scratched on the area.
It was diagnosed as an eczema and retracted nipple. I did not take the medications prescribed cause the symptoms subsidised over the following days. Nor did I visit a dermatologist. I feel like I was misdiagnosed. I need to know if there is a need for me to get mammogram.
