Eczema

Eczema

Eczema of the nipple and areola is a rare condition and is often bilateral; it is usually associated with eczema elsewhere on the body . It is treated with 0.1% betamethasone skin cream by local application and by using moisturising soaps. If the nipple fails to heal, Paget’s disease must be excluded by taking a wedge biopsy of the lesion.
