Abstract

[Breastfeeding provides significant advantage to both mother and child. There are many inflammatory dermatoses which can present exclusively over breast and nipple area or can present in generalized form during this period. These dermatoses could be the cause of cessation of breastfeeding in mother. Topical corticosteroid is the mainstay of therapy in such dermatosis. The advantage that topical corticosteroids offer should not be denied to the patient because of fear of their side effects. Using less potent steroid and that too on smaller area can reduce the risk to both mother and breastfed infant.]
