Weird scab like crust stuff on nipple?

[babyjan]

The only way I can describe it really

I remember having this with my first pregnancy and when I peeled I started to leak but this time I've had it from pretty early on in the pregnancy?

I can peel it off just like a scab and it just looks so weird!

Does anyone else have this?

I'm so tempted to scrub them off but I don't wanna start leaking or anything :/

Maybe dry skin?

It sounds like dryed up colostrum...if you give your breast a squeeze does some come out? Maybe using a warm wash cloth to clean off the area might help

Yeah, sounds like dried milk. Is it yellow-White and only on the tip of your nipple?

Not to scare you but if it's elsewhere on your nipple or breast, you should definitely check with a doctor.

Yep I think it may be dried colostrum. I picked it and it look wet underneath it! How strange because I've developed them from early on in the pregnancy

Yeah i've had this for a few weeks (managed to reassure myself by googling it) but now i'm leaking as well?! I'm 20 weeks - surely this is a bit early? Babyjan or anyone else - how far are you? Xxx

I'm 26 weeks this Friday.

with my first I began leaking around 27/28 weeks. I really do think they're dried colostrum though as when I peeled it with my first pregnancy I began leaking so I'm leaving them alone now lol!

Not sure but I don't think it's anything to worry about, I've heard of people leaking very early on in pregnancy

Yup I agree dried colostrum! So gross. I didn't really leak in my last pregnancy and this one I noticed a big wet spot on my shirt at 13 weeks so I guess every pregnancy is different...

I have some yellow/white crusty stuff on one of my nipples... Seems too early for me though.

It's just dried colostrum. Nothing to worry about

I have heaps of colostrum this pregnancy. Which ive not had much with my other ones.
