Very dry skin on breasts

    Hi Everyone,

    I have about a 6cm * 4cm very dry skin on breast and the tiny red veins are a bit more prominent and red. I'm not overly concerned, but would be curious to know what I can use to get rid of it. Doesn't look like eczema. Dry breast on the other side but to a much lesser degree. I've been scared in the past, but now, honestly, I take life as it comes. My check-up is end of August,

    thanks,

    alicki

    I’d see a dermatologist for dry skin on both my breasts. Do you not have dry skin elsewhere

    Since there are dozens and dozens of skin conditions it would be impossible for anyone here to know what to tell you to do. I’d start with my primary care doctor if I were worried

    I also have patches of very dry skin on my breasts, specifically around my nipples. The condition is worse on my right side, and there is occasional itchiness. I was nervous because I was called back two years ago due to an area of concern in my right breast. I do tend to have dry skin all over. I rubbed some Curel into my hands, and then applied it gently to the area around my nipples. The dry skin and itchiness disappeared. I had my annual screening mammogram yesterday, called my PCP today, and she said everything looked normal.

    Hi,


    Thanks for your reply. I put some cream on it. Better but not great. I have a yearly MRI (standard care for me because of hard scar tissue), and then skin doc. I think it’s a heat bra issue.
