Extremely Itchy Red Rash on Areola
Every several months to a year, I start to develop a red rash on each of my areolas. It appears as little red bumps that pop up. The areola then begins to itch horribly, to the point where it is completely unbearable. The doctor I went to a year ago did not know what it was. At one point, I couldn't stop itching and began to scratch my skin raw. I don't know what they are, or how to deal with them.
It is either an infection or an allergy. Maybe try non scented, no dye detergent and see if it clears up. Don't scratch and maybe take an antihistamine at night to see if that helps.You can try benedryl cream but I'm not sure how good that is. It didn't help me. It may be contact dermatitis. I would see an dermatologist.
