This is Nipple Eczema. Eczema of the nipple occurs when an itchy, scaly, irritated rash develops in the areola. It can occur on one or both nipples. Usually it is caused by irritation from certain articles of clothing, soaps, laundry detergents, or lotions. When your skin gets too dry, it can easily become brittle, scaly, rough or tight, which can lead to an eczema flare-up. Importance of moisturizing skin to manage eczema flares is important. Everyday products and even natural substances can cause your skin to burn and itch, or become dry and red. Consult a Dermatologist for further evaluation.
