Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am Dr.Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
Itching on nipples and areola is most likely due to a local cause like either severe dryness/ xerosis, atopic dermatitis/ allergy or rarely due to Mammary paget's disease.
Do you notice any rash?
