scab and itching on areola

Hi, 

 

I have had itchiness in my left breast and have noticed a small scab on the areola area. There is no discharge but wanted to know if this may be normal?

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    While no one here can tell you what is the matter, it is unlikely you have cancer.

    I think the best thing to do, if this does not get better in the next couple of weeks, is to make a routine GP appointment and get checked out.

    In the meantime try not to touch this area except to perhaps moisturise with a good, non perfumed cream. It might help.

    I hope you will be okay.

    Take care

    Caroline
