I have dry patch which is a bit elevated near the nipple on areola of my right breast.... Whenever I wear a bra and go walking or have some exercise... Then I come back and find a part of the dry patch scratched and oozing straw coloured fluid... I am 19 yrs old and I haven't visited a doctor yet. Do you think this can be a symptom of breast cancer?

    No, I don't. I think you have chafing, dermatitis, a fungal infection similar to athletes foot, or something similar from the warm, damp environment in your bra.from exercise. Breast cancer in a nineteen year old is so incredibly rare as to be virtually non-existent. You should consult your doctor any time you are concerned.

    No, i don't think this is breast cancer. As Melissadallas said, BC at your age is almost non-existent. If you were 50, or even 35, i might be concerned, but you're 19. This is MUCH more likely to be a benign skin condition. If it keeps bothering you see a dermatologist.
