Dry, chapped nipples

My nipples have become so dry, and sore, I don't know what to do. I would ask my doctor, but my appointment is next week, and I don't want to call for something like this. Any suggestions on what lotion or cream to use.

Re: Dry, chapped nipples

  • use lanisoh now as you would with breastfeeding (if you do that). It keeps them soft and relieves pain.

  • You might want to just go to a dermatologist. I am battling the same thing and I tried everything. Now I have some prego safe prescriptions that have fixed the problem in 4 days. Save yourself the grief and discomfort.
    Good luck.

  • Ya know what happened right after the dry cracked nipples for me? They started leaking! You've been warned!
    I used plain ole cocoa butter or coconut oil and it helped a lot.

    I use this coconut oil from the grocery store and it works amazingly! It can also be used for skin all over and hair moisturizer too, I posted in FFFC earlier that it doubles as lube for me too!!!! :\">
