A member asked:
I have had a very itchy nipple for a few weeks. i stopped breastfeeding 2yrs ago and have no rash. could it be thrush even though i'm not nursing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: it is unlikely that breastfeeding is the cause 2 years from cessation with thrush. You don't state your age, but Paget's breast disease is a concern that requires a MD visit. First, eliminate harsh soaps, lotions and retained dry soap in your brassiere by rinsing properly.
