Why do nipples itch after breast care?

Nowadays, girls love beauty very much. For the sake of beauty, they do breast care. After breast care, they often feel itchy nipples. This should be considered because the drugs used or the experience during the breast care process caused the nipples to itch. In addition, it is not ruled out that it is due to eczema or skin diseases. The cause needs to be found out.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nipple itching should be accompanied by the following two possible diseases.

1. Eczema.

It is the most common cause of breast itching and can occur in people of all ages. People with a history of allergies or a family history of allergies are more likely to develop eczema. Environmental triggers of eczema include dry skin, prolonged bathing, dyes and fragrances in skin care products, detergents, environmental allergens such as wool and foam, and stress. It is usually diagnosed by physical examination and medical history. Most treatments are topical, such as steroid creams. In addition, experts suggest that patient self-care and protection are also very important for alleviating eczema. Most importantly, avoid known allergy triggers. Try to keep your skin naturally moisturized. Try to use less soap and avoid long hot baths.

2. Paget's disease.

It is a rare breast cancer that causes hypopigmented spots to appear on the nipple and areola in a reticular pattern. This is the most worrisome cause of nipple itching. The initial symptoms are itching or burning of the nipple and areola, accompanied by the appearance of crusty skin. There was no improvement after medical treatment. Yellow or bloody discharge may also appear at the lesion site. This disease only affects one side, and most patients are between 50 and 60 years old. The diagnosis is confirmed by clinical breast examination, patient history, mammogram, and ultrasound.

Now that you know what causes itchy nipples in women, if you still have doubts, you can get an MRI scan to confirm the diagnosis.
