Breast concerns, since November

[Grace360]

So I have had this issue since about November. I was trying to get an appointment for this in the beginning of March. But with rapidly spreading world events, I pushed it to the back burner because it didn't seem as important. But I'm still so worried.. ontop of other worries. Warning it'll be TMI. I just really need help.

Since November the skin on my breast, specifcally my right, had been flaking, peeling, crusting. Someone assured me it couldn't be cancer so maybe it was the weather, considering I'm 16. But even today its continuing. Due to constant remedies and scratching, my right breast has various spots on it that show signs of scarring, hard spots from previous scratching, kinda like acne scarring but for the breast. I've tried vaseline, shea butter, coco butter. No blood has ever come out. If anything did come out of my breast, it came through the cracks of it, and it was a clear liquid. My actual areola and beast area get so itchy, but itching the areola part hurts. Like I can't stand it. So I scratch around it, but that results in some veins popping out, and a red breast. It's like my areola is raw at this point.

I don't want to go to the doctor for obvious reasons. Like people are dying, taking ventilators, its sad and stressful and my worry just seems so miniscule and honeatly unimportant at this point in time. I just want to get to the bottom of it and praying it's not some cancer I'm letting spread.

Just an update, hoping to have someome calm me down on this. Still flaking. I just hope it's not some breast cancer. A possibility was Pagets, but I was told it was for older people.

Could it be eczema?? Or maybe a possible skin irritation. I highly doubt its cancer since you're so young. Did you tell your mom?? If you did, what's her opinion?? But yeah from your description it just seems mostly likely to be an issue with your skin itself, and probably not related to the breast at all. Just calm down and try not to touch or scratch at the area because that'll make it a lot worse

I told her and she gave me the remedies as mentioned but nobody in my house seems too worried about it except for me. I worried it was cancer because it hurts to scratch it and sometimes its sensitive.
