Another nipple question!

Not only are my nipples huge and cracking in the middle, but one if them has a dark almost scabby side to it. It's hard to explain. I wasn't too concerned, but it's getting kind of sore and the other one without the scab/ callus thing is fine.
Anyone have the same issue?

    I have that too. Like yellow crust in some spots. I tried to scratch it off the other day and it hurt. I don't know what the deal is. Maybe dried colostrum? I'm a FTM and nipple changes/breast feeding has me puzzled and worried. Did you sign up for a BF class? I did and I'm hoping they go over this kind of stuff

    OP, Try lanolin.

    @haylo33 Probably is dried colostrum

    Don't use soap on them in the shower, it'll dry them out worse. I had some serious issues a while back with cracking and bleeding even. Felt like my nips were on fire. Just rinse them with warm water and use lanolin on them. It's helped me out a ton!

    The yellowish cracked is where the milk would come out and doesn't bother me, but the callused part is darker and around the side of the nipple.
    I will definitely try lanolin. I've tried coconut oil and EOS because I figured it works for chapped lips. They didn't do much. I wouldn't be concerned if it wasn't for the fact that the nipple has been sore and now my boob also hurts. I see my dr on Wednesday if it gets worse. Hope not!
