What Causes Itchy Nipples?
Disease description:
I’ve recently been experiencing unexplained itching around my nipples and would like to ask my doctor: What causes nipple itching?
Hello, nipple itching may be caused by nipple eczema, which often results from prolonged sweating or tight-fitting bras and commonly affects the skin of the nipple and surrounding areola. Skin allergies—particularly reactions to bra materials—are another frequent cause of nipple itching in women. Premenstrual or menstrual-related nipple itching occurs before, during, or around the time of menstruation. Nipple itching may also signal underlying breast disease; therefore, we recommend consulting a reputable hospital for evaluation. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
