1. The breasts of adolescent women begin to develop rapidly. Of course, nipples also grow quickly. At this time, attention must be paid to local hygiene. Because of rapid development, secretions increase, providing conditions for the growth of various bacteria. If you do not pay attention to local hygiene and use poor quality shower gels, soaps and bra fabrics, etc., it may cause dryness and peeling, making it inevitable that nipples will become itchy and unbearable. It is recommended to wash the breasts and nipples every night with warm water and a mild, high-quality soap. If the problem still doesn't go away, then you should see a gynecologist.

3. For women with large breasts, eczema may sometimes occur due to friction in the nipple area caused by the material of the underwear or exercise. Breast (scalp) eczema is a common skin disease: this disease is more common in lactating women, but can also occur in young girls. The patient's nipples, areolas and their surrounding areas are covered with needle-sized papules and boils with clear boundaries, often accompanied by exudation and erosion. There are also a few scales or scabs, and the patient feels itchy. Pain may occur when the erosion and rupture occur. The cause of breast (head) eczema is complex and is generally believed to be related to allergic reactions. This reaction may be related to genetics, and fatigue and mental factors may also be triggers. To treat this disease, suspected allergic factors should be removed, and foreign proteins such as fish and shrimp, as well as irritating foods such as alcohol and chili peppers should not be consumed; vigorous scratching and hot water washing should be avoided, and the local area should be kept clean; bras made of chemical fiber fabrics should not be worn, and corticosteroid ointment should be applied under the guidance of a doctor.
