I have had a horizontal scar on my right nipple for 10 years, due to violence during rape incident. Last three days, it is very swollen and irritated.tender to the touch.sounds weird, but applied pressure from side to side and from behind...no leakage or relief.seems to be getting fatter, and more sensetive
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have inflammation of a scar . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like infection underlying scar or breast cancer . I would suggest you to consult general surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order mammogram , ultrasound along with biopsy . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also drain the pus surgically under local anesthesia . Doctor may also recommend radiotherapy in case of malignancy.
