What Could Be The Reasons For Having Pain In Nipple And Red Lines Down The Center Of Breast?

In the middle of the night my nipple on my right breast was very itchy. I couldn t get confortable with the itchiness. This evening when I arrived home from work I took a relaxing bath and saw my right breast had two red lines down the center of my breast. What does this mean?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Only a physical examination will determine the exact cause but I am assuming either a hormonal cause is in play or a possible enlargement of the natural size of your breast which can also be cause by a hormonal imbalance. Please report to your doctor.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
