Nipple eczema, or nipple dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition causing redness, itching, and sometimes blistering or cracking around the nipples. Both men and women can develop this condition, though it's more common in women, especially during breastfeeding. Effective management includes identifying and avoiding triggers, using appropriate topical treatments, and wearing soft, breathable fabrics. Understanding the symptoms and treatment options can help those affected maintain comfort and manage this condition effectively.
