Itchy nipple

I think the title pretty much says it all.

Anyway, I have one itchy nipple. It doesn't hurt or look any different, it just itches. I did the google thing and I suppose it could be thrush (maybe) except that neither G or I have any symptoms other than the itchiness. I don't know, I'm kind of at a loss. It has been itching all day and it's driving me batty. I'd scratch it but let's face it- there is no good way to scratch a nipple. 

Any ideas ladies? I hate to go to the dr over an itch, especially if that is all it is.

    Could you have dry skin?  Maybe put some lanolin or Vaseline on there to moisturize it? 

    That's all I got, I can't say I've ever had an itchy nipple but it sounds as frustrating as all get out.

    No idea, but when I used to nurse A I had one side of my boob that itched constantly.  Not the nipple, just the side, maybe what could have been along one of the duct paths.  I never saw the doctor and it finally went away on its own, but took forever! I 2nd trying some lanolin. good luck, I never found a way to discretely itch either.

    Ugh, this happens to me all the time. It's usually because of a hair.  I pluck the hair and it goes away (usually).  I put a little cream on it too which helps.
