Have seen Paget's. It looked like a cratered nipple at first, was very
painful, red, open circular wound in the center of the nipple, as
opposed to thrush which usually is more severe around the circumference
of the nipple.
In later stages, the Paget's looked white and crusty across the entire
face of the nipple.
Culture will find any yeast or bacteria, and a punch biopsy is indicated
if normal treatment does not resolve the wound.

> What has been your experience in telling the difference between Paget's and yeast or CAN you? If Paget's is so rare, is anybody really seeing it? Is the skin of the Paget's nipple rough, scaly, red, numb, and itchy? I've read that it's scaly and red in the beginning and itchy in later stages, but nothing about it being rough or having loss of feeling. Is loss of feeling a characteristic of yeast? Lastly, how common is it to get a yeast infection on ONE nipple when Mom hasn't breastfed in 2 years? Thanks all!
