Eczema doesn’t discriminate. It can flare up on places like your breasts and nipples.

If not addressed quickly, eczema can get a bit out of control. Sometimes, systemic eczema is the cause and other times things like poorly fitted bras, creams and soaps containing perfumes, preservatives, aloe and vitamins like A and E can be to blame. It’s best not to use any products that have fragrance on the breasts or nipples as this area is prone to irritation. If you notice discharge, pain, rash on the breast or nipple, you could have an underlying issue going on and should seek immediate medical care.
