How To Cure Itchy And Painful Bump Around Areola?
I think I have eczema on my areola on only my right side of my breast. It s now the entire areola. It itches and oozes. It is also very painful. I am so embarrarresd. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed an expensive topical cream. She didn t tell me what I had but it has not gotten any better at all. Who should I go and see?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having eczematous dermatitis and now having super added with bacterial infection.
Firstly you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days to control infection.
Continue applying topical cream after proper cleaning.
Take Benadryl or Cetrizine to stop itching.
Wear cotton and well fitted bra.
Ok and take care.
