nipple pain and the pill?

Hi,
This is my first post to the board and I'm hoping you'll be able to shed some light on this situation. Here's my background: I've been on some form of contraceptive (primarily oral) for over 6 years. First, OTC, then Allesse, Yasmin, Lo-Estrin, Ortho-Evra and I am currently taking OTC-lo. Over the past year or so, I've been experiencing pain in my right nipple. It seems to be getting more and more sensitive as time goes on. If my fiance tries to touch me, I wince and jerk away. I haven't had any discharge.
On top of that, during my 3 month trial of Ortho-Evra (about 6 months ago), my breasts swelled painfully and my areolas became severly itchy and dry. I went to the dermatologist about that and was prescribed Locoid Lipocream. That didn't seem to really treat my problem.
So, here I am, one itchy left breast, one painful right nipple. I am due for my yearly exam next month and will be bringing these issues up with my gynecologist. But in the meantime, I thought someone might have some insight.
Thanks so much,
Kerja
