Question : , I've been experiencing an itchy/flaky/discoloring rash which first started on my right aerola but has formed also on my left one. I keep running across info on "Pagets Disease" which has itchy aerola as the number one symptom.. I am very concerned and would appreciate any answers..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Based on your description, the lesion you have could be due to a fungal infection. It usually occurs in the areas of least sun exposure and excess sweat.

I recommend the application of Miconazole ointment twice daily after thoroughly washing the affected part.

In case on intense itching you can take CPM 4mg tablet for relief . This has to be taken in the night after food for not more than 5 days.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

regards,
