Comment on: “Skin disease of the breast and nipple”
To the Editor: I read with great interest the recent 2-part series by Waldman et al, “Skin diseases of the breast and nipple.”1 I wish to highlight a common inflammatory condition that was briefly noted in the section on Candida mastitis, which is Raynaud phenomenon of the nipple (RPN). I believe this is an underdiagnosed and underreported cause of nipple pain in pregnant and lactating women and a treatable cause of inability to breastfeed.
