My breasts have scaley patches on them,
they look shiney and there about dime
sized and all over my breasts. They don't
itch or burn or look red, they just look
like scaley, shiney dry skin. I can't find
ANYTHING on the internet about it... they
are seriously all over my breast, when I
apply lotion it diminishes the look of
them, but they always come right back.
What could this be?!

Hi! Posted: 10-16-07 05:26am
For how long you are experiencing scaly
skin?
When did you notice for the first time?
Can you relate this appearance to some
certain moment or daily activities(
ex.after shower)?
Are you taking some medications?
What's the look of your skin on other
parts of your body?
How old are you?

Do you have scaly areola and scaly nipple,
too?
Do you have scaly, dry skin from time to
time or this is a permanent appearance for
the last year?
Do the patches of dry skin are slightly
wrinkled and appear like cigarette paper?
Whats the color of the patches (pink,
brown or yellow)?
Have you noticed that the patches of dry
skin are getting much larger at times?
Have you noticed skin thickening on your
breasts?
Did you have small red bumps on your
breast skin before getting patches of dry
skin?
Scaly skin can be due to various
conditions.
I don't wanna sound negatively, but a
change in the feel or appearance of the
skin on the breast or nipple (dimpled,
puckered, scaly or inflamed) can be a
warning sign for breast cancer.
Please, visit your doctor!
Waiting for your post!
Best wishes!

Nothing on my nipples.
No Red Bumps
They wrinkle when i move my breast, but
thats it.
The patches are normal colored. Color of
my flesh.
The texture of the patches feel mildly
rough, but the skin that doesn't have
patches is completely normal skin.
It's been a permanent thing.
I'm deffinatly going to make a doctors
appt. for it.

I can't stop thinking of your problem.
It seems very difficult to tell what it is
without professional medical attention.
At first I was thinking you may have a
fungal infection, but you miss itchiness,
redness and and when is due to fungal
infection is located only under and
between breasts.
I guess it's a skin issue, only.
But, skin lesions and changed appearance
of skin are one of the most difficult
diagnosis to be made.
I hope you'll get proper help and advice
from a dermatologist.
You can, also, ask for a referral to a
doctor for examining your breast. Just to
ease your mind.
Please, keep us update!
Sharing information about your condition
can be very helpful for other people with
same problem.
