Numb Breast

Hello,
One of my breasts feels numb, especially the dark area around the nipple, and whenever I touch it, its feels weird, horrible! Its also considerabally larger than the other, the dark area is also huge in comparison to the other
Just was wondering if someone could tell me if its normal?
Thanks
erm i would go to the doctor

guess not...
Don't be embarrassed! I am a shy person too, but I would go for my peace of mind. It's different to telling your mum because the doctor doesn't know you personally and isn't going to see you every day from now on or whatever. Just go, they will see boobs/penises/other genitalia every day.

I honestly wouldn't leave it...getting a quick check-up wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it?

no i wouldnt leave it cus any change in the brown bit can be a sign of breast cancer....and the fact its numb makes it slightly more worrying. Dont be embaressed!

You MUST go to the doctor. People DO get breast cancer at your age, btw, though it's probably not what you have.

Tell your mum if it helps. Trust us, the doc has seen it all before, they're not embarassed so why should you be?
yea it could be nothing but anyone can get breast cancer!

Your mum would say the same as us, to go to the docs, and if you're too embarrassed to tell your mum, dont, but go to the docs, even if it is really awkward
