Hello. Good day. Thanks for writing to HCM. I am Dr Praveen and I will be answering your query today.
The nipple being larger and the discharge indicates inflamation. It would be good to use a topical medication like mupirocin and cotrimazole. So it would be an antibacterial and antifungal. Take tab cetrizine for a couple of days for the itching.
Wishing you good health. Please hit thanks and rate this answer if you have found it helpful.
