Why is my chest skin itchy and swollen?

Many female friends are very troubled by some physiological diseases, especially diseases in some more private parts of their bodies, such as itchy chest skin. Many female friends think that this situation is caused by disease, but they are not very clear about which disease can cause this situation. So, what is the cause of itchy and swollen chest skin?

First, what is going on when the chest skin becomes itchy and swollen? Female friends should not be too nervous when facing breast itching, because the causes of breast itching can be divided into pathological changes and physiological changes. What causes breast itching? Female friends should pay attention to the following pathological changes and actively seek medical treatment. Pathological changes: 1. The color of the nipple and areola simply deepens to dark brown or black brown. Even small nodules may be found around the areola glands, forming protrusions. At this time, there is no lesion when examining the breasts. It is exactly the same as the "spider nevi" and "cinnabar palms" that appear in men with severe liver disease. We should consider whether the patient has more serious liver disease. This is because liver disease causes liver function to decline, and estrogen cannot be normally broken down in the liver, causing the nipple and areola to darken in color.

Second, the color of the nipples and areolas deepens, accompanied by severe itching around the nipples and areolas. During a breast examination, hyperplastic lesions or cystic hyperplastic lesions may be found in both or one breast. The darkening of the color of the nipple and areola indicates an increase in the level of estrogen in the body. It is consistent with the law of disease occurrence for the breast, which is a target organ. 3. When a woman's ovaries suffer from certain benign tumors, the amount of estrogen secreted by the ovaries increases, which can cause the color of the nipples and areola to darken, and many small nodules may appear around the areola glands. Such patients should see a gynecologist as soon as possible to find out the cause and receive timely treatment. What causes breast itching? When some changes occur in women's physiology, it can also cause breast itching symptoms. Girlfriends should not be too nervous about physiological changes: 1. Some women (mostly between 30 and 45 years old) may not find any lesions during breast examinations, but this color change indicates that the woman has a "transient" increase in estrogen in her body. In the absence of pregnancy, the color of the nipples and areolas will gradually deepen from pink brown to dark brown. Perhaps after a period of time, due to self-regulation, the estrogen level will return to normal and the color of the nipples and areolas will also return to normal. This is still a normal physiological change. 2. After a woman becomes pregnant, the color of her nipples and areolas may deepen from light red to dark brown starting from early pregnancy, mainly due to the increase of estrogen and progesterone in the body. This is a normal physiological change.

What's wrong with the itchy and swollen chest skin? Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disease of the epidermis and superficial dermis caused by a variety of internal and external factors. It is characterized by severe pruritus, polymorphic and symmetrical distribution of skin lesions, a tendency to exudation, a chronic course, and easy recurrence. Therefore, it is particularly important to actively treat eczema in the early stages of the disease and prevent and control the disease in the early stages. Characteristics of the affected skin: It can occur in any part of the body, most commonly on the face, behind the ears, flexor sides of the limbs, breasts, hands, scrotum, etc., and is distributed symmetrically. According to the characteristics of skin lesions, it can be divided into acute, subacute and chronic eczema. There is no clear boundary among the three and they can transform into each other.
