Asking For Other, Female 32, Lahore

Gender Female Age 32 years Any other disease Nil

Few weeks back I observed a blackish brown spot on my breath at areola area of my breast, there was also itching and it will like flack on that spot. I don't have any lump, no pain no difference in breast size no nipple discharge. I consulted my gynecologist, she check my both breasts and arm pit area by pressing with fingers and gave me polyfex cream to apply for 3 times day. After 2-3 days I was feeling better itching was reduced so I finished applying polyfex But after 1-2 weeks I am again feeling itching and there is spot still there. Is it breast eczema? I am so much concerned about it as these days listening message regarding breast cancer day and night on phone Needs doctor advice as I have so much anxiety

It's important to examine it in order to guide u and treat u accordingly.
Meanwhile moisturize regularly like Exo cream or dermive moisturizing lotion
Mild soap like hydrolatum bar or dove
Tab fexet 60mg once a day for itching
U can book appointment for further guidance and treatment

Thank you Dr Sana, just confirm that nothing serious as I have a lot of stress due to listening of breast cancer awareness message day and night. I don't have any symptoms as mentioned in my post

I understand your concern but again I can't say for certain it's nature without examining it. I have not given any alarming point in your description so far. After examining u can guide u better. But it sounds less likely. Allergies are a more common problem.
