Eczema under the breast
Common Questions and Answers about Eczema under the breast
eczema
Breast Cancer is extremely uncommon in women under 20. Skin on the breast is like skin anywhere on the body and is subject to a variety of abnormalities, including infection, eczema etc. If it has returned to normal, it is more likely to be something other than cancer. However, if you are concerned or if this returns, you should bring it to the attention of your doctor. You don’t necessarily need a specialist just someone whom you are comfortable doing a breast examination.
I had breast eczema. I was told by a dermatologist to wear only cotton bras and it helped it go away. I also was prescribed cortesone cream and it helped. But we later discovered that using it had blocked my milk ducts and I couldn't breast feed when I had my children. But wearing only natural breathing materials around my breast and the cortesone cream did the trick.
its been so long that i have warts on my breast its become more. both on my breast near the areola. and i notice that both on my breast the warts become darker and big. I experience itchiness on my areola with become swollen and redness because i cannot control myself to scratch. And I went to the skin dermatologist she told me that i have eczema on my breast. Please help me is there any problem what will i do? Thank you in advance.
I cannot see the rash but can feel it under the skin. When it is itchy and I scratch it the lumps go red with blood and look more like a traditional 'rash'. My legs are the worst affected but my lower arms also have started to get it. Strangely, it is affecting my right side more than my left.
At times I cannot help but scratch it. My legs and arms feel like they have millions of little blisters under the skin - what is it??
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).
Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema.
You may have eczema, which affects the armpits among other places. Eczema is an ongoing condition, which comes and goes. A prescription-strength hydrocortisone would help suppress the symptoms. Choice of antipersperants tends not to matter. You'll need to see a doctor in person for definitive diagnosis and proper treatment.
Take care.
Dr.
It sounds like it could be eczema. I had a similar reaction to the water softener my landlords were using and had to buy a filter for my shower. The itchiness went away very quickly after I changed that.
Do you use any lotion? Perhaps you are allergic to the lotion you are using and breaking out from it. There are several things that can cause a reaction like that. Just try making some changes and see what works. Trial and error. If nothing seems to work you can always go consult a physician.
for a long time now i have had red spots (or a rash) under my left breast and a little bit under my right breast. the rash is flat with no pus or crusting. it rarely itches and does not hurt. i have larger breasts and usually do not wear a bra unless i am going out to eat, the bar, getting my hair done, etc (i feel more comfortable with out a bra on)... any ideas on what this could be??
There is no pain and itch but skin under the nail and around the finger peels off. When soaking the thumb into the water, the skin turns to white. It has been for two years. In the past I soaked my hand into the dishwashing liquid without a glove. Then I noticed the skin was very dry and flaky as well as after the shower. I have got two diagnoses, the chronic paronychia and chronic eczema. Can you tell how to identify the chronic paronychia or chronic eczema on the finger?
I saw another doctor who ordered an U/S and breast CA 15-3 plus mamogram. The U/S showed a fibroadenosis in the left breast and did not detect anything in the right breast which I was complaining of. The mamo did not detect anything in my right breast, but detected a suspicouse lump in my left breast which am not complaining about. I as well did hormonal tumor markers which was all normal.The blood test was normal and the Dr. told me this is fibroadenosis.
This rare type of breast would include -rapid unusual increase in breast size,redness, rash, blotchiness on breast,persistent itching of breast or nipple,thickening of breast tissue,stabbing pain and/or soreness of breast,feverish breast,swelling of lymph nodes under the arm or above the collarbone,dimpling or ridging of the breast,flattening or retracting of nipple,a lump that may or may not be present.
A skin biopsy such as you had would have certainly shown if you had this disease. .
Other possibility is a fungal infection or intertrigo common in skin folds. In Paget’s disease of the breast along with skin changes like crusty, oozing or hardened skin there is also bloody nipple discharge or flattened nipples. It can resemble eczema. It is best to see a dermatologist and get the diagnosis confirmed. Hope you find this information useful.
Best of luck and regards!
There is a type of breast cancer called "Inflammatory Breast Cancer" also another type of breast cancer called "Paget's" breast cancer. I would go to a gyn or a breast specialist. Get a second and even a third opinion. Look it up and compare the pics online to see if it is similar to the symptoms you are experiencing. Not meaning to upset you, but important to push further to make sure this is nothing to worry about.
At the beginning of my pregnancy i had itchy breast, hands, feet, everything... but only at night. I as well tried lotion but it only worked for a little while. I brought it up to my dr and she tan a test that can happen to you when you get pregnant.. from the itching. I dont remember the name of it... sorry. Anyway it came back negative so she then prescribed me a mediciation to take every night and it helped.
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
Wear lose comfortable cotton clothes.

Some of my family has breast cancer, which makes breast cancer more likely. I realise it is unlikely for a 15 year old, but I am really worried. The more I research symptoms, the more they match up to me and it scares me even more. I have no one to talk to right now, and I need advice on what to do. I don’t know if i should see a doctor here, or wait until I get home, as everything would be much easier.
