Greetings of the day
Dear Ms XXXXXXX

The clinical photograph provided by you is unclear. What i can see from the picture , it assume you are referring to whitish patch between the nipple. That patch is Pityriasis XXXXXXX It is self limiting condition and there is no cause for concern. Local application of Moisturising cream like Himalaya baby cream or Cetaphil will be helpful.
