Crust on nipple

Posted , 4 users are following.

I wondered if you could help.

For as long as i can remember, i have had this sort of yellow/green what id call crust on my nipples. the bits can fall off without any pain. in 2012 i get them checked at hospital and doctor said it was nipple eczema. its just the fact it still appears that worries me. i am not and never have been pregnant either.

any advice?

    Hi

    I think nipple eczema is the same as any other eczema. Once you've had it, it will just keep coming back.

    Speak to your doctor or a pharmacist, tell them you're anxious and ask them to confirm that it's OK that it keeps appearing.

    Good luck to you.
