Answer: 1 year after breast reduction surgery. It itches a lot. Do you have any suggestions? (Photo) No photos were available for viewing. Over-the-counter anti-histamines such as Zyrtec, Bendadryl, or even a steriod cream may help reduce that itchy sensation.

Answer: Nipple Most likely a dermatitis of the nipple/areaola skin requiring a steroid cream. However, follow up with your surgeon. You may benefit from a biopsy of your nipple/areolar tissue to help diagnose this. A mammogram and ultrasound may also be indicated if not previously done.

Answer: 1 year after breast reduction surgery. It itches a lot. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your pictures and questions. Unfortunately, a photo is not going to be enough to help diagnose your problem. I would suggest that you return to your plastic surgeon for an evaluation or if that is not possible, see your regular doctor for an exam and referral as needed for proper diagnosis and treatment.Best of luck!Dallas R.
