Itchy eczema on breast

3 replies

At least I think it's eczema.

Has anyone experienced this? If so how did you treat it? Any cream I have for my eczema advises not to use on the breast.

I'm currently breastfeeding so not sure if it's linked to that at all.

Thanks

Probably best to get GP to check and then you can be sure treatment is ok for breast feeding. Or if you feel comfortable a pharmacist would be able to advise a first line treatment to try.

Breastmilk is meant to help psoriasis so may be worth a try also!

Definitely breast milk. Also try good oil (does wonders for extreme eczema and not come across any reaction to it, whereas other potions meant for eczema have caused burning sensation and redness!)
