Mine were hurting which was ok...but this week they are also itching like CRAZY and keeping me up and it's painful to scratch them! After being up half the night, I googled around found out something called Lansinoh is recommended. I went first thing this morning to cvs and bought it. I have to say, it's really REALLY helped the itch - so if anyone else gets the itching added to the pain, I wanted to pass along a possible solution.
