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 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!
I had that , went away eventually. Duno
what it was , where it came from or
anything lol so eh I am of not to much
help. But ive been there done that I
guess u could say

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