Breast lesion: If the patch is dry and itchy it is most likely a small patch of eczema. Try some over the counter 1% hydrocortisone cream 2-3x/day and see if it helps. If it does not help, you might want to consult a dermatologist.

Dry patch: probably exzema----unless it is enlarging and has slightly red/raised borders in which case it might be a yeast infection----try first 1/2-1 % hydrocortisone crm---buy over the counter for 1 week it should clear if it is mild eczema if not cleared see your pvt doctor for evaluation
