Suggest Remedy For Burning Sensation In Areola Post Radiation For Breast Cancer

I have hard, green crusting embedded in my nipple. I had a lumpectomy and radiation for breast cancer in this breast this year. I finished radiation tx in August and now take Arimidex daily. I have intermittent pain around my areola that is burning, aching.
