What is the outlook for people with eczema on nipples?

Eczema symptoms usually get better or go away with age. But flare-ups can happen throughout life. You’re more likely to have repeated flare-ups if you:

• Also have allergies or asthma.
• Got eczema at a young age.
• Have severe eczema.

People who scratch their skin repeatedly are at an increased risk of infection. Long-term scratching can also cause your skin to harden and thicken over time. To avoid these complications, don’t scratch the rash. Talk to your provider about ways to relieve the itching.
