Nipple Pain, Redness, Scaliness, Oozing

If both nipples are irritated - red, oozing, scaly and itchy - you probably have a skin condition, such as eczema.  If the symptoms are in just one nipple it could be a very rare type of breast cancer called Paget's Disease of the Breast.  Get your condition checked and do not allow your doctor to dismiss the possibility if your "eczema" does not respond to treatment and ask for further tests (nipple biopsy) to rule out cancer.
