There are small bumps on the areola and it hurts

If there are small bumps on the areola, and there is pain and itching, this cannot be ruled out as the cause of breast eczema. Compared with the skin of other parts of the body, the skin of the breast is relatively more delicate and easily affected and stimulated by the outside world. Especially for breastfeeding mothers, frequent feeding of the baby may lead to the appearance of eczema. At this time, it is necessary to carry out treatment for the cause and strengthen breast care.
