Nipple eczema – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1763868068

Eczema of the nipple and areola occurs mainly but not exclusively in women and can cause significant distress. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Often no cause can be established, although there is an association with atopy. It needs to be differentiated from Paget disease of the nipple.
