Who might get eczema on nipples?

Most of the time, eczema develops before age 5. It’s one of the most common skin problems in children. Many children outgrow the condition.

People of all genders can get eczema on their nipples. Some people develop the rash all over their body, including their nipples and areola. Other people only have eczema on their nipples and areola, but not on the rest of their body. You’re more likely to get eczema (atopic dermatitis) if you have:

• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever).
• Asthma.
• Family history of allergies, asthma or eczema.
• Food allergies.
• Obesity, or if you carry extra weight.
