What can be done for itchiness in breast below nipple?

Hello,

I am here to help you with your health queries.

I read about your concern in detail.

Perhaps you have either a fungal infection or it could be a sort of dermatitis. Treatment for both these conditions is entirely different. Therefore, I request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected areas so that I can confirm and guide you better.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed the attached image (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity). You seem to have eczematous dermatitis. I suggest you use a moisturizer regularly. Additionally, consider applying a topical moderately potent steroid cream such as Flutivate cream (Fluticasone) or Momate cream (Miconazole) twice daily. I also suggest you take an oral antihistamine like tablet Teczine (Levocetirizine) 5 mg once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You can safely use Flutivate (Fluticasone propionate) cream on the areola for a week or 10 days. No issues, it is safe in pregnancy. Take care.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Thank you.
