No, we can't tell you the cause of this. It could something as simple as laying on your breast wrong when you slept last night..or there's always the chance of an infection.

Gail I have the same problem last month I had this problem my breast nipple area had a scaling on it I didn't think anything of being in Menopause at age 28 you know my story anyways anyways then it started hurting the pain got worse and I saw my GYN but never asked him I was to scared anyways plus I thought it was just because of my hormans long story short I ended up with my breast almost the size of a basketball got an infection because of it. Well took antibiotics for two weeks then now the same thing is going on again problem is I can't see my Doc until thursday and today is monday and it hurts so bad I can hardly put on a bra and I told myself no ER unless I'm bleeding what should I do
