Immediate Help and Advice Needed! Please?

I have had the itchy, red, scaling, rash on my nipple and around my areola for about 4 months now. My bra sticks to my nipple and when I take it off, it peels off the top layer of skin from the oozing getting stuck to it. It is MISERABLE but only on the areola and nipple. Could this be pagets disease? Has anyone else been diagnosed with Paget's? I'm only 15 so i really don't know if this could be cancer or not, i'm so terrified! And yes i know this is discusting! Has anyone else ever experienced this? I have been so depressed about this! If i go to the doctor what would they do? Any advice would be very helpful thank you!

Use a telfa pad, so it doesn't stick. if you can't get one, make an unreasonable facsimile with some fabric then a layer of plastic so the fabric doesn't get stuck to the bra. then you can take a shower and soak things loose so you don't further damage the tissue. You might try an antibiotic ointment, and see if that helps, or a burn ointment, or vitamin E. Any of which might help the area to heal. It doesn't sound like cancer. Cancer is cells growing too fast, so it is like a lump or a mole (more or less). I don't know about "paget's". For general knowledge, try to find a copy of PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING by the Balch's. There might be a copy at the local health food store you could look at (or the library). It is a very good first source book to look things up in.
