Nipple Candidiasis
Nipple candidiasis is an infection by the fungus Candida that affects the skin of the nipple and areola, and is frequently associated with the breastfeeding period.
Common symptoms: burning or pain in the nipple, itching, redness, shiny or flaky skin, and discomfort that may appear during or after breastfeeding.
Factors that favor it: constant moisture, cracks in the skin, or an environment favorable to the fungus.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist evaluates skin conditions and the general practitioner can provide guidance at a first visit. If nipple pain becomes persistent, especially during breastfeeding, having it checked by a professional helps understand its origin and receive support.
