Had Burning, Itching Red Rash On Areolas. Treated For Yeast, Eczema. Didn't Help. Painful. Treatment?

For the past 6+ months I have had a burning, itching, sometimes raised, very red rash on both areolas. I am nursing so at first I assumed it was related. It has been treated as yeast and eczema. Neither treatments have helped. All creams used have stung and burned. It's painful to nurse and even to have any fabric rub against them. My child has no yeast in her mouth.

Hello,
Thank you for your query,
the symptoms mostly correlated with bacterial infections which require some antibiotics treatment like dicloxacilin or ampicillin can help
hope this will help.
