Dry, itchy, flaky, patchs on breast.

Topics:itchy breast

I've read a number of artilces on itchy breast and none of them match my problem. On my right breast I have dry, itchy, flaky patchs around my breast. Not on or near my nipple and not on my areola. There are no bumps, and its not red. I'm wonderinig if its just some type of ringworm or something similiar. The symptons are not as severe as others that include bleeding or bumps, but it is annoying. Any suggestions?

Hi - There's no telling what this might be from. And since that's the case, you need to have it looked at. Since it's only on one breast, it's most likely not an allergic reaction to a new laundry detergent, or anything like that. So best go see the doctor, and get it diagnosed and treated, OK? Good luck - PJH
