Depends: This depends on the type of redness and irritation that you are having. Some general causes: breast infection/mastitis, detergents, soap, lotion. Is there a mass or swelling associated with it?
I highly recommend you get evaluated by your doctor. This is a difficult question to answer without having an examination.
