Itchy nipples and crustiness.....

So tmi, and I'm sure I'm posting something someone else has, but totally grossed out. I have had dry skin this entire pregnancy and have lived off cetaphil cleanser and lotion and aquaphor as another moisturizer. Was about to go to be and noticed my nipples were extremely itchy, and then when I looked at them I notched dried yellow crusties...I have super sensitive nipples so I wasn't about to pick the crusties. So a nice warm shower for me. And a nice lube up of aquaphor after. Anyone have other suggestions for the itchiness and crusties? I'm sure it's colostrum, but I will continue to call it the nipple crusties.

  • Same here. I bought some ultra moisturizing dove body wash that totally cured the itchies but the crusties keep coming.

  • Yes, you are leaking. Perfectly normal! Wash gently, but with nothing too harsh and moisturize as much as possible.
