Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and clear pictures.
To recapitulate: Male/34 - extreme pain and burning left nipple - visible changes - worried about Paget's - Doctor prescribed cortozone cream ...
Please give additional information:
- Since when have you got this problem?
- Any other medication have you take in view of symptoms you have?
- Is there local raised temperature?
- Any nodes in the armpit/axilla?
- How was it started - any minor/trivial trauma or on its own?
- Any other information you would like to share?
My thoughts:
Looking at the pictures and considering your history of of extreme pain and burning, I would think of an infection as the most probable cause if this is present for short duration.
- A course of an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicines should help to get a relief
- If no relief then further tests should be done:
High resolution ultrasound and color doppler.
FNAC
Biopsy to get the exact diagnosis and to get a plan for further treatment if required.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
