Started developing extreme dry/cracked skin w/a clear sticky discharge from areola 3mo ago. My plastic surgeon thinks its just dry skin & maybe my milk ducts leaking. It dries into a yellow crust and sticks to eveeything. The skin on/around areola has become extremely discolored, itchy, red, cracked & raised.
