| Is That Sore Dangerous? |  |

Is that spot serious? Maybe and maybe not!
Sometimes, it itches and is sore, but other than that
in the beginning it doesn't seem urgent. It may appear
as a single small red pimple on the aureola. There are
very few women out there who know that a lesion or
rash on the nipple or aureola may be breast cancer.
Danger is when a persistent redness, oozing, and crusting
of the nipple with itching and burning of your nipple that
will not heal that sometimes has a whitish thick looking
area in center of the nipple. Usually only one nipple is
affected.
One of the biggest problems with Paget's disease of the
nipple is that those symptoms appear to be harmless. It is
frequently thought to be a skin inflammation or infection,
which can lead to unfortunate delays in detection and care.
Paget's, the little talked about problem that leads to death
if not corrected! Not restricted to just women either.
Paget's Disease: an eczematous inflammatory cancerous
condition especially of the nipple and areola a chronic
disease in which the bones become enlarged, weak, and
deformed. If caught when in its precancerous condition
the outcome is very good.
This rare form of breast cancer, appears on the outside
of the breast, on the nipple and aureola. It sometimes appears
as a rash, which later becomes a lesion with a crusty outer edge.
The nipple doesn't seem any different, but the rash.
How is it diagnosed? Your doctor will do a physical exam and
should suggest having a mammogram of both breasts, done
immediately. Even though the redness, oozing and crusting closely
resemble dermatitis, your doctor should suspect cancer if the
sore is only on one breast. He/She should order a biopsy of
your sore to confirm what is going on.
Padgets' as is Addisons' disease is associated with
hypercalcemia, as well as the use of diuretic medications.
Hypercalcemia is a condition defined as having serum calcium
above 10.5 milligrams percent. However, symptoms of the
condition may not even appear until the serum calcium reaches
12 milligrams. One of the reasons to not take calcium
supplements alone. Calcium requires other minerals for
the systems to process and utilize it properly!
Reduce calcium-binding foods, and make sure you are
supplementing with complete sea based liquid minerals to
balance the system in order to cut down on hypercalcemia. If
you are not supplementing with quality 84 total minerals and
trace minerals you need to discontinue dairy products, which
is the number one no no food. Yes, dairy is said to be good for
your calcium needs. Actually it is a calcium binder setting
you up for more serious illnesses, with Padgets being one of
them.
Read labels and stay away from products that say, "calcium
added." That includes some orange juices, rice, cereals,
carbonated soft drinks, beer and some water.
Balance is always the way to assure health!
Go in good health,
