What are the symptoms of eczema on nipples?

People with nipple eczema develop a red, itchy, scaly rash on their nipples and areola. Your areola is part of your breast anatomy. It’s the dark circle of skin around your nipple. Nipple eczema can flare up or get worse every now and then. It may get better or even go away for a few weeks, months or years and then come back. Signs of nipple eczema include:

• Dry, inflamed skin around your nipple.
• Itchy, painful, burning or sensitive skin.
• Nipple discharge.
• Rash that has brown, red or gray patches or spots.
• Scaly, dry skin that may peel, crust or scab over.
• Small bumps that ooze fluid.
