Don't worry, itching is normal, it could mean you are still growing, that's good right? or it could mean that you may have a few tiny hairs growing around the nipple, and that definitely will make it itch, this is due to too many male hormones in our female body's, just like when we see hair growing in places that we thought only guys got it, like, tiny hairs on our chest, or sideburns, etc. Just put some mild cream around the site that itches, and don't worry to much about it, if it continues, go see your Dr. to be 100% sure.

You may be leaking a little liquid from your nipple. The symptoms you are describing do not in any way resemble breast cancer.
I think you should put some lotion on your nipple and if it does not clear up in a week or so, then call your doctor.

It's probably just irritated. It's highly unlikely to be any kind of cancer. If you're that concerned, give your doctor's office a call and ease your mind. If it really itches, try a little lotion, or hyrdrocortisone cream.
