Flaky skin on nipple and discharge - please help.

**mrsquinn** · 07-16-2010 03:25 PM

I'm 23 years old. I have flaky skin on my right nipple (not the areola, but the nipple itself). I tried to peel the flake off thinking it was something dried on there. Stupid idea, it made my nipple bleed. It wasn't itchy. I'm not pregnant, as far as I know. I'm on Mirena. I have psoriasis but it didn't look like my normal flakes or any pictures I've seen online of psoriasis on the nipple. It's not red, just flaking. There is also a little bit of clear discharge with a slight yellow tint to it. Any idea what this could be?

Hi.
I have the same symptoms, may I ask if you went to the doctor and received a diagnosis?
Thanks.

Don't wait or an answer on here, see your doctor so she can check for breast cancer. Not to scare the out of you, but there is a type of breast cancer that causes dry flaky skin on the nipples, and with discharge, I'd see the OBGYN immediately to rule it out.

Best of luck to both of you!!
