Breast Skin Changes

Almost any skin condition can affect the skin over the breasts, including

• eczema and other dermatitis,
• psoriasis,
• acne,
• soreness from rubbing or other injury,
• dryness,
• age spots,
• moles,
• melanomas,
• and fungal infections such as candida.

Certain 'whole-body' rashes, such as measles, chickenpox and ringworm, can be to blame, as can the Herpes zoster infection called shingles.

Sometimes breast cancer causes breast skin changes.

If you know what's wrong, treat it with appropriate home remedies and over-the counter drugs.
