Dry skin at edge of nipple

Just beside one nipple there's a bit of dry skin. It's come & gone a couple of times over the last 4 months using moisturiser but this time it just doesn't seem to want to go completely. It's lessened but still feels a little rough & is visible. Just eczema? Do I just use a more heavy duty moisturising cream. Not itchy at all.

I would get it checked, even if it's a pharmacist (with a consultation room) any breast changes, even just to the skin should be checked.

You need to see your GP.

Please see your GP ASAP. Any changes to breast tissue should be checked.

Thanks for replies. I hadn't considered it needed a GP review because it improved some with moisturizing before. I'll book in this week

I'm not trying to frighten you but my friend's breast cancer started like this.

Thank you @TheShellBeach I hadn't known that was a possibility. Will definitely have it checked
