Can Eczema Be Related To Drainage Around The Nipple?
Hi, I have a 17 yr old son with CP and a Baclofen Pump implant.
I just recently noticed a somewhat clear drainage from the area around his right nipple.
He is very cognitive, but unable to speak, however when I asked if it hurts he states no, but that it itches.
I am also monitoring a low grade fever, yet he says he feels ok.
Also he was diagnosed as having a form of exzema last year that I am constantly trying to control, could this be related?

unlikely. nipple exudate in a male is likely hormone related but this might be caused by a medication he is taking. consult your doctor that is treating the cp
