What causes itchy nipples?

In the early stages of breast cancer, women often experience many symptoms, so women must pay special attention to abnormal reactions on their breasts. Breast cancer not only causes a lump to form in a woman's breast, causing swelling and pain, but some breast cancer patients also find that their nipples are peeling and itchy. But is it really breast cancer that causes frequent peeling and itching of the nipples?

Some people say that nipple itching is a type of breast cancer. In fact, not all nipple itching is caused by breast cancer. For example, some skin diseases or poor hygiene can also cause nipple itching. Here we must learn to distinguish them. Breast cancer is actually a disease that occurs in breast tissue and can occur in any part of the breast. Let’s talk about what causes nipple itching and peeling.

Steps/Methods:

1. First of all: Nipple itching is a symptom of breast cancer and needs to be taken seriously, but not all patients with nipple itching are caused by breast cancer. Generally, eczema near the breast can also cause itching in the local skin of the patient's breast, and a breast examination is needed to confirm whether it is breast cancer.

2. Secondly: it may be eczema. This is the most common reason why you feel itchy breasts. People of different ages will have this disease. If you have experienced allergies before or you have a family history of it, you are more likely to suffer from eczema. The reason for your eczema may be that your skin is very dry, or you take a bath for too long, or you are allergic to the fatty substances in the skin care products.

3. Finally: During the breast development period of girls, some may experience mild itching, but the itching is tolerable and not severe. It is normal when it is not accompanied by the appearance of rashes and can be relieved by itself. It is not that serious. If the itching is severe and accompanied by rash, you should go to the hospital for examination.

Note:

If the underwear worn by women is of poor quality and contains too many fibers, static electricity will be generated when the skin rubs against the clothes. The stimulation of static electricity will cause itching of the nipples. At the same time, it is also very important to keep the underwear clean.
