What Causes A Red Itchy Patch Beside My Nipple?

I have a red patch beside my nipple that has been here for about 2 weeks. It itches, and is red around the edges, and alight color inside. It s not puss or anything like that. I have another small spot right above that one and then another smaller one up a little futher. Not really sure what it is.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and it could be eczematous rash.
If I was your treating doctor, I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine once daily at bedtime.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
