Why are nipples and areolas itchy?

The itching of nipples and areola is mainly caused by the fact that women do not pay attention to the hygiene of their breasts, which leads to the growth of bacteria and thus causes eczema. Therefore, when sweating more in the summer, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of your breasts. In addition to eczema, itchy nipples and areolas may also be caused by breast development and breast swelling during pregnancy. Everyone should understand the cause of the disease clearly.

Female breasts are another kind of beauty of women, and are the beauty and charm of a woman. There are many health secrets about breasts, but many people don’t pay attention to them normally, and only pay attention when they find discomfort. It is highly recommended for women to have regular physical examinations, especially those who are married and have children. Gynecological or breast diseases are prone to occur, and regular physical examinations can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases.

For adolescent women, their breasts are just beginning to develop, and their nipples will gradually grow larger as the breasts develop. During this period, special attention should be paid to the local hygiene of the breasts, because the rapid development of the breasts will increase secretions, which provides a favorable growth condition for various small bacteria. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, the areola around the nipple will become dry and peeling, and the areola will also become itchy. Adolescent girls should use shower gel from regular manufacturers when taking a bath, and choose underwear made of good materials so as not to give any bacteria the opportunity to harm their breasts.

Some women will experience itchy nipples after pregnancy. This is a normal reaction to pregnancy. As time goes by, the belly grows bigger, and the nipples and breasts begin to swell. If you use hot towels frequently, the small bacteria on the towel may be transferred to the area around the breasts if you are not careful. Therefore, it is safer to disinfect the towel before use.

Another condition that can cause itchy areola in women is eczema. For women who like sports, if the underwear they wear is not breathable and has poor sweat absorption, eczema may occur when it rubs against the nipple area. Breast eczema is a common skin disease. Its symptoms are needle-sized papules around the nipple and areola, which will itch. In order to prevent eczema from exudation and erosion, please seek timely treatment. At the same time, be careful to avoid scratching and washing with hot water, keep the area around the areola dry, and avoid eating spicy foods.
