I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia three years ago. During that time I ve had some itching and tingling in my left breast. I ve had it looked at a couple of times by my gynecologist. I had a marker test that came back normal in 2013. But, lately I feel a tingling sensation like my nipple is leaking (but I check and it isn t). I also have small round dark spots almost like a mole on the nipple. And I sometimes get a layer of brown skin over the areola that I gently scrub off. I don t feel any hard lumps. My arm pit sometimes feels like it is burning and both lymph nodes under my arms are tender due to fibromyalgia. My left nipple has small white substance that I ve had all my life. That has not changed. I have at times felt a very sudden and strong itch in and around my nipple. I just need to know where to take it from here.
Hi, Fibromyalgia is pretty much by definition an all over pain. It is by definition associated with how nerves work with pain and that's it. Other signs such as a change in a wart or mole, a new change in nipple appearance or leakage are cancer warning signs and not fibromyalgia. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
