Help! Could this be PAGET'S DISEASE?

Hello! Could this be Paget's Disease if BOTH my breasts have this kind of discoloration? These patches are sometimes itchy. I tried to put hydrocortisone. It just relieved the itching. This is really bothering me.

Hi,
If this discoloration is happening on both areolas,I would really doubt that it's Paget disease of the breast.
Paget's disease of the breast is a rare form of breast cancer and it's never been heard that it could involve both breasts at the same time.The first clinical finding is usually redness or crusting of the nipple skin, followed by tingling, itching, increased sensitivity, burning, or pain in the nipple.
What you have, could be a skin problem,since you don't have any of the symptoms mentioned above, except for the itching that could be due to several other conditions.The discoloration could also be caused by hormonal fluctuation in the body.
However,you really need to have this problem checked out by a dermatologist,for your own peace of mind,since it's been bothering you so much.
I am sure that an examination by a medical professional will let you know what's going on and prescribe the proper medication.
Take care and best wishes.
