Nipple itch for 2 months

I'm a 22 year old female and have been having itchy nipples for about 2 months but they became worse recently. It's flaky and scaly, and there are regular yellow secretions that dry up quickly on my bra. There are also red bumps around my nipples and they feel hard and hurt when I press them. I have them on both nipples though the left nipple itches more.
Is my condition severe? I'm unable to visit a doctor until one month later. Would it be better to visit a dermatologist than a general practitioner?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

What is your age?

Have you noticed any abnormal features on breast self examination like skin changes, breast lump, nipple discharge , etc.

Apply calamine lotion to hep soothe the itching. You should wear lose clothes and take oral antihistamine medications and see if it helps with your symptoms.

You need to consult your breast specialist or skin specialist to get a proper clinical evaluation and to get relevant investigations if required.

This could simply be skin lesions or some infective lesion or allergic reaction to some substance.

Let us know if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
