rash on my areola and side
by allergy101, Apr 26, 2006 12:00AM
I have a small round rash on both of my areola close to my nipple and it's been there for a fews months. At the same time there's little tiny red rashes around my breast close to my armpit. I tried some topical applications and it worked for a little bit but now it's back. Does anyone know what this is and how to cure it? It gets really itchy and a little bumpy.

Dear allergy101: Without evaluation, it is impossible to determine the nature of this rash or make treatment recommendations. Skin on the breast is like skin anywhere on the body and is subject to abnormalities. If you have recently changed detergents or bath soap, these things can sometimes cause reactions. If not, and this is persisting, you should have your doctor take a look and make appropriate treatment recommendations.

I am currently looking for a new doctor who would hopefully be able to help me out more. Not sure whether to see a general doctor or a dermatologist for it
