Please have this checked by your primary care physician or a dermatologist. This should be diagnosed, possibly as an allergic skin condition, but rarely, could represent an early breast cancer. So please have this checked. There are some prescription creams for the former condition, and of course, you may need a mammogram and possibly other diagnostic tests or a biopsy.
