What are the red spots on my breasts?

If there are red spots on a woman's breasts, this is related to skin allergies. For example, during lactation, because of the milk and the baby's sucking, the woman's breasts are often repeatedly irritated, which can easily lead to rashes and allergic symptoms. In severe cases, ulcers may even occur. At this time, you must pay attention to timely cleaning, and if the condition is serious, you must pay attention to medication.
