Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I ve been experiencing some problems with the skin on the areola of one of my nipples. After I come home from a long day, I see it has become crusty. When I let it air out during the night, sometimes I can see the clear liquid oozing out. That liquid is not even sticky. It s very clear and watery. I ve been applying some topical treatment (everyday creams for irritated skin), but this has been going on for a few months now. Is there an at-home remedy I can try first before I seek professional help?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the most common cause of the skin condition or lesion of areola is fungal infection but it can be well cure with anti-fungal cream like, Miconazole apply this three to four time in day, if the condition is confirmed then oral antifungal can also be used hope this information helps.
