dry skin?

Im not sure what it could be if your not PG, but if you wear a lace bra that can irritate your nipples, and make them extremely itchy.
But i definately wouldnt google it, that thing makes ya paranoid! it has done with me so many times! If your worried id just make an appointment with your doctor

An itchy nipple can be a sign of a problem but not always. You could go to the GP tmw or wait for another cycle and see what happens as the chances are that is what they will tell you to do anyway.

Oh i see i get exactly like you, i shouldnt think it'll be anything to worry about, im sure it is just an itchy nipple! bodies are worrying things!
It dosent sound like anything to worry about as you havnt got any other symptoms!
Just get it checked out tomorow by the doctors hun, and im sure they'll just give you some cream to soothe it

I have this all the time, and I just put exczema cream on it. Its just another patch of excema for me - certainly not serious, so I would really not worry about it, its so unlikely to be anything bad.

choclab · 18/03/2010 19:08

thanks moodlum , made me feel a bit better , feels better as taken bra off actually , will have nice shower and put some sodacream on see if helps .

I get itchy nipple (sometimes both) loads. Eventually figured out it is due to dry skin.

Find the time to cream, it doesn't take 2 seconds. Stick the tub of cream next to your make up/deodorant, whatever, but something that is part of your daily routine so that it slowly integrates into your routine.

choclab · 19/03/2010 07:23

thanks , VK , i will do that and pop get e45 cream as this iv heard is good for dry skin, i have had in past the bit where nipple joins areoli if makes sense crack and be sore bit went after applying cream , i did go to docs who said sometimes happens .
