hello, im age 28, male and from morocco, i never had any serious condition in the past beside a ruptured right eardrum and the chronic tinnitus that came from it.

but in the past 1 or 2 months i noticed a pain in my left nipple thats hurts when i touch it, also it feels like theres a small lump underneath it that i can move around, and when i looked up breast cancer symptoms for men and i noticed all of them say painless lump, so i thought its just an infection that would heal itself over time.


almost a month later now, i check back on it again, only to find the areola darkned quite a bit and theres scaly skin around the nipple, which from what ive checked are also breast cancer symptoms, so that got me even more worried now,

although the pain still persists when i touch it and there was never any discharge of any form coming from it, so im not sure if its a form of cancer or something more harmless like an infection


sadlyi cant post any links at the time to show how it looks,


the areola itself beside the parts around the nipple looks realtively normal beside the slightly darker color, so im still hopefull it might not be cancer,

but i do plan to visit a doctor soon after buying a new motorcycle,

let me know what you guys think, its really important to me to hear opinions of people more familar with this


and sorry for any mispelling, english is not my native language

    Welcome sanageyama! Also sorry you find yourself here... I hope you're able to see a doctor soon - esp. since you mentioned a month going by as it is.... It sounds like your new motorcycle will offer you the transportation you need? I hope you are able to schedule soon! Sending positive thoughts.....
