Help My Nipples. Please.

in December 2014 Moms
I searched but couldn't find anything ............

My nipples are dry.
My nipples are peeling.
My nipples are itchy.

I'd love to be able to keep my hands in my bra and scratch my itchy boobs all day long but that isn't an option. 

Please.  Someone.  For the love of God .... please have a remedy.

    Like PP said, I would try Lanolin or Neosporin with itch relief. Also, I'd try to wear a breathable bra if at all possible.  I'm sorry your boobies are itchy!

    Baby oil or jojoba oil. Might be "stretch" mark style of itching.

    Udder Cream. It's a real thing if you haven't heard of it.

    This crap will de-crack any cracking skin in sight. It's amazing. You can get it anywhere in the lotion section.

    I de-bra the minute that I get home from work.  No chance I can wear a breathable bra at work.  My nipples stand at attention ALL DAY.  I have to wear padded bras to hide the perky nipples.

    Lanolin is the greatest thing ever invented and you'll need it if you plan to bf after.
    SIGNATURE FAIL!!!!!!!

    Aquaphor. Not the baby kind but the un scented-amazing-for-everything kind. A little tube lasts forever and a plus is it's superior to any/every Chapstick on the market. Also superior to hand lotion, it completely fixes dry skin on hands in the winter.
    I used it on dry itchiness between my boobs recently. Shit is amazing

    Did you show any outward signs of an infection?  I don't see anything that shows that there might be an infection, just dry, peeling skin.

    This. I use the same stuff on my nipples/breasts as on my growing belly.

    HA!

    I swear by Kiehl's Creme de Corps. It ain't cheap, but it keeps my nips and belly from itching.

    @JunkieBrewster - When I was posting this morning I seriously thought about finding a random picture of a nipple and putting it in this thread.  Then I was worried about @TwoLittleDogs coming in here and screaming at me for posting a nipple picture.  ;)  Too many whack pictures being posted in here lately!

    OMG - I just googled pictures of peeling nipple for fun.  Trust me ... don't do it.

    Please show your OB, you could have a skin infection or some kind of allergic reaction. Yeast infections are really easy to get in your "underboob" area.

    In the meantime: Make sure you get that skin completely dry after you shower and before you put lotion on it. Do not use any products with petroleum jelly/Vaseline/Aquafur. It prevents your skin from breathing. Use a natural oil (grape seed oil is wonderful) and let your boobs breathe as much as possible. Stick to unlined cotton bras.

    @CandaceC1020‌ no signs of infection. Just really itchy all over the boobs. I thought that maybe they were just getting bigger/ready for baby.

    Thanks ladies.  I have an appointment on Friday with my midwife and I'll be sure to ask her about my itchy nipples and areola then.
