Some thorny sensation and itch
My mother is facing some sort of thorny type of pinching and itching sometimes all of a sudden in one of her nipples. Although it is not frequent or painful. Consulted gynaecologist yesterday she said it can be due to acidity or dryness of the skin. Only if she experiences any persistent pains or lumps, asked to go for a mammogram. Are these symptoms of any cancer??
