Sababu muhimu Uchunguzi wa kliniki na muundo wa ugonjwa mara nyingi hufanya iwe vigumu kutofautisha sababu zake za msingi kama vile irritation (kuwashwa) au sensitization (uhamasishaji). Ni muhimu kuzingatia allergic contact dermatitis (ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuwasiliana na mzio) kama sababu kuu. Utafiti wetu ulionyesha kuwa wagonjwa 5 kati ya 9 ambao walifanyiwa vipimo vya kiraka na kufuata mpango wa kuepuka waliona maboresho makubwa na kupungua kwa kurudiwa kwa dalili. Kwa kumalizia, unaposhughulika na nipple eczema, hasa ikiwa inaathiri chuchu zote mbili au inaenea hadi kwenye ngozi inayozunguka, kuzingatia allergic contact dermatitis kama sababu kuu ni muhimu.
Nipple eczema, considered mostly as a minor manifestation of atopic dermatitis, may have unknown causes. However, its clinical course and pattern often make it difficult to differentiate its underlying causes such as irritation or sensitization. Nevertheless, allergic contact dermatitis must be considered an important cause of nipple eczema. We found considerable clinical improvements and reduced recurrence in 5 of the 9 patients who had positive patch tests and followed an avoidance-learning program. In conclusion, allergic contact dermatitis should be considered first in the differential diagnosis of nipple eczema, especially in patients showing bilateral lesions and lesions extending into the periareolar skin.
