Hello doctor,
I noticed some dryness and skin issues on both my breasts over the last few days. I am currently taking the tablet Sertraline 150 mg.
Please help.

Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thanks for your reply.
So nothing cancerous or pre-cancerous, right? and what causes it?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Causes can be allergic, contact with irritants like chemicals, detergents, and harsh soaps, cold and dry areas, weather conditions, low humidity, sweat, occlusion, friction, stress, repeated scratching, rubbing, picking, increased sweating, ingested allergens like food and drugs, tight wear or secondary infections, atopy (endogenous factors), and dry skin. It is not cancerous.
Do not worry. It will go in ten days. Follow-up after ten days. Elimination of known triggers and allergens is essential. Apply emollient barrier creams or moisturizers whenever skin dries out. Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating and dry conditions, which trigger eczema. Minimize the use of harsh soaps and avoid stress.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
