Can Itching In The Left Areola Be A Sign Of Breast Cancer In A Cancer Survivor?
My name is Ina Brown, my left aureola has been itching for about three weeks and I am noticing that the nipple is somehow retracting inside the breast. There is no scaling, no redness unless I scratch the area and no signs of any discharge. For your information, I am a breast cancer survivor with a strong family history of breast cancer. Seven immediate members.
