I am a mother of a three month old baby and I breastfeed him. I have noticed a dark black dry flaky skin patch on my left breast's areola and two three red rash on my breast. I have a history of eczema on my face in winters and still have it this winters on my face. I wipe my breasts almost after every feed. My concern is what that could be on my breast. As I have heard these are the symptoms of breast cancer also. Please suggest what it could be as I am freaking out.

It is not symptom of breast cancer. White flaky patch can either due to dryness or can some skin disease (as you already have history of eczema). Apply moisturizer after feeding every time. If condition remain same than you should consult and take proper treatment for it. You can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment and further guidance
