Suggest Remedy For Persistent Redness And Itching In Breast

Hello, Over the past 2 weeks I ve noticed both of my nipples have been tender in the same location. They are sensitive to touch, no redness, and are sometimes itchy internally. I am 53 years old and have large dense breasts. I ve checked for lumps and dimpling - nothing. I ve never experienced these symptoms before. Thank you.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Itchy and tender nipples are present in eczema,leukoplakia, ductal carcinoma.
I will suggest you to get a mammogram and ductal imaging done to confirm the cause and get appropriate treatment timely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
