What to do if a woman has itchy nipples

Some women may occasionally find their nipples itchy during sex. When they look in the mirror, they find that their nipples are obviously red, similar to eczema, which makes them feel uneasy. In fact, if a woman’s nipples are itchy, it is very likely that she has eczema, as the nipple skin is prone to dryness. In addition, if women use very high water temperature when bathing or take too long to bathe, it can easily cause nipple itching. Let’s take a look at what women should do if they have itchy nipples.

Some patients do not have any specific lumps in their breasts, but only itching and rashes on the nipples and areolas, which look like eczema and do not heal for a long time. In fact, this may be a special type of cancer - eczematoid breast cancer. So, don't ignore this small change on your skin. If both nipples and areola are itchy, it is definitely not serious. It may be caused by breast eczema or skin allergy. At this time, you can take antihistamines and Chinese medicine for dispelling wind and dampness orally, as well as various eczema ointments externally.

Ill-fitting bras can induce breast cancer: If the bra size is too small, it will push the breasts and cause poor blood circulation, which can lead to blood stasis in the lower part of the breasts and cause pain, inverted nipples, breast development failure, and even the risk of breast cancer. It has been reported that women who wear bras for more than 12 hours a day have a 75% incidence of breast cancer. In order to keep your body healthy, when applying a bra, you should firmly adhere to the principle of "it's better to be big rather than small, and it's better to be loose rather than tight".

Paget's disease is another extremely rare cause of itchy nipples in women. If female friends use inappropriate skin care products on a daily basis, such as using skin care products that can cause skin allergies, not only will the nipple skin become itchy, but the skin in other parts of the body will also become itchy. Women must always pay attention to the cleanliness of their breasts and never use skin care products casually.
