What Do Dryness And Itching On The Nipples Indicate?

I have a few small, dry, and itchy patches on the aeriola of my left nipple. Started maybe 2 weeks ago, and I haven’t changed soaps or detergents. Relevant: I am not on any meds, no I haven’t contacted a doctor about it, I suffer from severe PCOS, depression, and anxiety. Breast cancer is common in women in my family. I’m 21 years old, weight 240 pounds.

Hi,

Are you taking any medicines? If yes then mention it because it can lead to such symptoms also.

And as your family has history of breast cancer so please do screening for that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
