Hi, I am a 23 years old female with a problem on her left breast nipple and close areola area. For about a year now I have been having symptoms at first it would be itchiness and sharp pain in the Breast then occasional scanning which I would just peel off. Eventually this whole purple scab area developed. It would ooze pus and my nipple enlarged as well. It was very painful. My doctor prescribed betadine steroid cream which did away with the itchiness and pain but not the scab area. My doctors keep saying I have eczema but I have been to a dermatologist before and have never had problems on my breast area until this whole started. What should I do?

The inside of your breasts is made up of fatty tissue and milk-producing glands, called mammary glands. The dark area of your breast around your nipple is called the areola. As your body starts to develop, a small lump grows under the areola and nipple. As your breasts develop, the areolae get bigger and darker. Don't worry its better to consult doctor.
