What should I do if my nipple is itchy?
Disease description:
I went shopping for underwear at noon today. While changing into my new underwear, I noticed that my nipple felt slightly itchy. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but the itching has persisted for two to three hours. I’d like to ask—what should I do about an itchy nipple?

Hello, there are numerous potential causes of nipple itching, with fungal infections commonly leading to dermatitis or eczema. When this occurs, patients may take oral vitamin C and antihistamines. Topical antihistamine medications may also be applied externally. Additionally, avoid using excessively hot water when bathing. Refrain from scratching the itchy area, ensure adequate rest, and avoid consuming spicy or otherwise irritating foods. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
