As Jane Kershaw suggests, don't rule out psoriasis.
As regards nipple eczema or dermatitis, I have had two cases where this was
caused by using a swimming pool and leaving the swimsuit on for a while
afterwards. One mother took my advice and used a topical corticosteroid
(which then required a script). She also changed out of her swimsuit
immediately and took a shower. The other, who consulted me at a conference
overseas, decided not to use a corticosteroid, and just to shower
immediately after emerging from the pool at the conference venue, a spa. I
saw her a week later at an event in another city and she reported that she
had follow my advice successfully.

Subject: Eczema on nipples
Hi all, My friend has been struggling with nipple eczema for about 6 weeks
now. She tried to avoid steroid cream but has now resorted to it. The eczema
started when she was pregnant then went away. Her baby is now 15 months. Mum
also has outbreaks of psoriasis. This is her 3rd baby. She has had no bother
before.Any thoughts would be appreciated. I looked up the 'Breastfeeding
Atlas'. Only one case is mentioned and steroid cream was used successfully
to treat the eczema.My friend was sent to specialist clinic to check what
the problem was then and told it was eczema when she was pregnant. Her
toddler feeds loads.Thank you in advance,Sarah McCann,Carrickfergus,Northern
