For about a month now my right nipple has been very itchy and painful. In the last couple of weeks it has gradually gotten worse with the whole area surrounding the nipple becoming red and swollen. I also have a clear discharge from the nipple. It is extremely uncomfortable and although I haven't felt any lumps in my breast could it be cancer? I am 24 years old and my sister in law who is the same age is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer which is probably why i'm so worried!

In any case it is very uncomfortable especially during the day when i'm wearing a bra as the discharge causes the material to stick. I want to go to a doctor but I have just moved to france for a few months and I haven't got one yet.

Could anyone offer any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
