Okay I'm really worried because I've had a nipple rash on my right nipple for a while and I am really, really worried about it cause I finally worked up the guts to google it and it sounds like Paget's disease but that can't happen! I'm only thirteen and it says Paget's Disease happens to women between 63-66. And it's nowhere near as scary looking as the advanced ones even though I think I've had it for over a year.
I'm like, panicking right now. Oh yes and I have always had eczema, on my inner elbows, inner knees, eyebrows.
nothing stupid like 'thats gross' because i know... and it's really not helpful when i'm seriously considering the fact that i might have brreast cancer and might die before i turn 20.
AHHHH
help help help

Go to the DOCTOR! Tell your parents that you need to see a Dr. and try to see a female if you can. Since you are only 13 it's probably NOT serious, but whenever you have an unexplained rash, you should go to the doctor!
Good luck!

Actually I know a 30 something woman who got Paget's disease of the breast, so it does happen to younger women. However, at 13 it is incredibly unlikely. Sometimes, google is our friend, sometimes it's not. This is one of those cases where it's not. I know, I do the same thing and I should know better as I'm a nurse.
Does this rash just sit there or does it itch, burn, flake, tingle, is it spreading, does it come and go? Is the skin thickening? If you want to ease your mind, go see a dermatologist, they specialize in all skin conditions. If you have eczema, you likely see a dermatologist anyway. Mention the rash on your breast, mention your fears and bite the bullet and show him/her the patch of skin. Most likely you'll get good news - that this is something annoying, but not fatal. Good luck!

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

Ok, sweetie, calm down. What you have sounds like nothing more complicated than an undiagnosed food allergy. The most common cause of eczema is wheat, eggs, and soy allergies. This is not commonly known by doctors. My neice had severe eczema and a rash on her breast. When we changed her diet from wheat and soy based to rice based, it cleared right up. Try keeping a food diary for a few weeks, to see if your symtoms are worse within 3 days of eating certain foods. Watch for hidden sources of allergens in condiments like ketchup, mayo, soy sauce etc. I am quite certain that this is all you are dealing with. Email me if you need further assurance, but you just calm yourself down and quit worrying, ok?

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/WirlF

Yea, buck up and see a doctor...you may THINK its embarrasing, but its gotta be better than freaking out and thinking your going to die for almost a year now. Thats WAYYY too long to wait if your that worried. Quit scaring yourself by looking online and consult a professional....its what they get paid for, so dont be embarrased, GO!
