Q: Nipple Question

I have a quick ?... Figured i'd ask here because 1: you guys seem to be experts on women's bodies, which would be expected from pregnant women Smile

and 2: this forum is read pretty often.

So anyway, my thing is, my right nipple has been pretty itchy lately. I noticed a couple of days ago that the skin on my nipple is kinda flaky and peeling. It's not particularly dry here. I live in south georgia and it's actually quite humid for january. Also, I haven't changed laundry detergents or anything like that recently. Anyone ever had this happen? Normal? Anything I could/should do? Thanks for any help! Smile

I've been trying not to mess with it, but I did scratch it once. Sad

it kinda scabbed over (ick) where I scratched it, but it hasn't really gone away in the past couple of days. My husband told me to put lotion on it, but I wasn't sure I wanted to do that. Is it ok to put lotion on your nipples?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, try a bit of vaseline on it. And you got it right, I think not messing with it is the best thing! I would try to avoid even touching it.
