A member asked:
What is the difference between paget's breast cancer & eczema?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See your doc: There are subtle differences, but a good rule is that paget's should be excluded for any persistent rash in the nipple area. If the patient has known eczema in other parts of the body, she will usually recognize it as such. Eczema rarely starts out in the nipple area only.

See below: Paget's can suggest an underlying malignancy. Eczema is a benign but annoying skin condition.
