What Causes Breasts Itching, Labia Irritation, Dry Skin Peeling And Vaginal Discharge?
Hello. The past month or so I have noticed that my breasts have been itching. In the beginning, my nipples were itching, but now it is my entire breast. There are patches of dry skin around my breasts and the skin on my nipples have been peeling. About two days ago, I noticed a slight irritation on my labia and found out today that the skin on my labia was peeling also. I also noticed a small amount of thick white creamy discharge coming from my vagina. I have no idea what is wrong with me, please help.

Hello. Thank you for writing to us healthcaremagic
Itching on breasts is most likely due to underlying dry skin.
Dry, scaly patches of skin may form on skin that is already dry.
I would suggest you to use a moisturizer, twice daily.
Specifically for the patches you may use a topical moderately potent steroid e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily.
Thick, creamy vaginal discharge and peeling of skin of labia associated with itching is usually seen in yeast infections/ candidal vulvovaginitis.
You may try an OTC antifungal e.g clotrimazole vaginal tablets once daily at night for a week.
Single dose of an Oral antifungal e.g fluconazole is also curative in candidal infections.
I suggest you to visit a doctor for confirmatory diagnosis and appropriate prescription.
An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from itching.
Regards
