Have any of you women ever experienced itching of the nipple or aerola?

This is a sign of Paget's disease, but I have had a biopsy by a breast surgeon and it was negative, I have been to a dermatologist also...nothing seems to stop the itching. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this???

I got that really bad while I was pregnant. Are you almost due for your period? Hormone fluctuations can cause it. Skin dryness and allergic reactions to soap, laundry detergents, etc could also be the problem.

Buy some Lansinoh (it is a lanolin for breast feeding) to ease the itch and try switching over to dye- and perfume- free soaps.

I get that a lot, but I didn't know that it could be an actual disease! Guess I need to talk to my doc about it.

Maybe it's just that your breasts are growing, or swelling during menstruating. I know that when skin stretches, it itches.
