I am a 68 year old male for past three months I have a stinging painlike sensation when pushing or squeezing area adjacent to left nipple. My doctor, an internist, told me not to worry about it, but I am still concerned about it. When I take a warm bath and put warm to hot water over it with a wash cloth the problem subsides. The left breast feels firmer than the right breast but it is same size. What could this be?
Hi, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor.  According to your complaints it looks like an infection around the needle. It may be just an infected sebaceous cyst also. Consult a physician and take a course of painkillers and antibiotics. Usually it should subside. If not, then you will have to undergo further investigations for a proper diagnosis. So my advice is don't delay and get a correct treatment at the earliest as your age fits in high risk category patients. Pl. feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.  Thanks and take care.
