What Causes Itching Around Areola?
The area around my areolas have been itching for a few weeks. I was thinking it was my bra rubbing since I do have a patch of rough skin right below....I ve tried putting lotion and washing with moisturizing face wash but it s still itchy...any suggestions?

Hello and welcome.
The two possible causes could either be a fungal infection which will require you to keep the region clean and dry at all times and the use of an anti-fungal medication (e.g. miconazole or ketoconazole); or just dry skin requiring the use of a mositurizing lotion on the region. Please do visit your doctor or write to me using our premium service with a clear image attached of the affected region for my examination to further accurately guide you.
Best wishes.
