Itchy nipples

xDuffyx · Apr 14th, 2012, 16:04 PM

Oh my god! I could actually scrape my own nipples off!
They are itching like hell! And because I'm scratching them on the sly, I'm starting to get a bit of white peeling skin.

I'm sorry if too much info!

Just wondering of anyone had encountered this or if it's anything to worry about? Xxx

I also found that if I wore cotton bras they itched less, but the cream has been a godsend for me too!

I had that too and had peeling it was so itchy, midwife told me to use 1% hydrocortisone cream and omg helped instantly with the itch and after a couple of days nips were good as new

. You can buy the cream over the counter in any pharmacy xxx
