Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes A Red Rash On The Breast During Pregnancy?
I am 18weeks pregnant and have had a small/medium sized red patch patch on only my inner left breast which is hot to touch for over 2 weeks now. Today I noticed my t-shirt was covered in an oily substance down one side -my left side and this can only of come from my left breast... is this normal or do I need to see a doctor
As a physician, I would like to tell you that breast tenderness is quite common during pregnancy. So are the secretings because of your increasing hormones. I would also like to tell you that you should visit a physician and get examined for your patch as this could be due to several reasons which needs to be warranted as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Abhijeet
