What Causes Itchy Nipple And Red Bumpy Patches Around The Breast?
My left nipple is itchy and I now have red bumpy patches surrounding my breast-- not on the nipple and not on the aerola-- on the lighter skin of the breast. However, the bumps do not itch, but the nipple does. Going to the doctor, but should I see the dermatologist or gynecologist?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, this could be allergic condition and it can be treated with local application of "Beclomethasone Ointment" if it fails to responds then you can see the dermatologist, but it will be fine, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
