Tenderness And Itching Around Right Breast Nipple, Oozing Of Little Black Liquid From Breasts. No Lumps. Concerning?

Hi,
I am a 40 yr old African American woman with no known history of breast cancer on either side of my family. That being said, I recently experienced some tenderness and itching around my right breast nipple. i noticed after a few days of my hand constantly going to that area of my body that I should probably look further into it. so I fully examined my breasts for lumps and felt none. Didn't really feel any significant amount of pain either, but there was this constant..discomfort. I began to squeeze my nipple on the right breast, and to my surprise, a little black bead of liquid oozed out! When I squeezed the nipple on the left breast, and it too was black. not green..black. not a significant amount comes out when squeezed and I really have to work for it to produce another sample, but still, I am very upset and apprehensive about it cause. I read online that it could be a known benign breast condition called Mammay Duct Ecstasia that could be treated with anti biotics, but Im still apprehensive. Please advise.

Hi,
From your history it seems that you require evaluation of your case.
As you are 40 years so any thing abnormal should not neglected.
Consult your Gynaec and get your both breasts thoroughly examined.
Go for cytology examination of fluid coming out from your nipples.
You may require Mammography of your breasts as well.
Ok and take cae.
