A member asked:
Rashes on areola, biopsy says no sign of infection or psoriasis. could it be a side effect of errin birth control (mini pill)?

Inflammation?: Histological findings from biopsy may also suggest eczema or inflammation. If the report didnt mention it specifically, you can ask your doctor to request the pathologist to review biopsy slides again for the same. If no evidence of eczema or other pathology, you may have this as a side effect from BCP, of which there is evidence in the literature. Try stopping BCP for short time to confirm.
