Dry skin patches on breasts

[monkey2014]

Anyone else had this? I've got lots of little dry patches, tiny circles of just one layer of skin that flakes off.

I have the same thing onlynits not just on the breasts I find using a cheap version of head and shoulders as a wash helps loads sounds stupid but works and also works great if you have itchyness on the breasts aswell hope it helps xx

Thanks! I've only got it in pregnancy, do you know if it goes away?

I had it with my 1st baby and it went now back gain im 29 weeKS I think it might be hormone related and stretching to make milk ext ask your mw next time you see HR just to be safe incase its like a form of exma or just pregnancy joys x

I had something similar in my last pregnancy on my chest and breasts, little circular patches of dry, tight skin. I showed the gyn and she said it was fungal! She said due to my elevated temperature and gave me a cream which I applied twice a day and it cleared up in less than a week.

I got this for about 5 weeks at the start of my pregnancy. I used pure aloe vera that helped

I used to get this. Tried all sorts of stuff from the GP (including the dandruff shampoo) none of which worked. I worked out myself it was hormonal as I only get it when pregnant or on the pill. It went away straight after delivery.

I've just ordered some mama mio cream in the hope it helps and stops my nipples itching! I'll let you know how it goes

Thanks everyone :) It's not itchy or painful at all on me, just weird...so I keep forgetting to ask the midwife about it! Will write it on my list for next time :)
