What cause itchy nipples

**jessica** · 12-08-2008 05:56 AM

i know this sounds kinda crazy, but for the past couple of days my nipples have been itching really bad. i haven't changed laundry soap or done anything different. i tried getting in the shower and washing them with just water, and then putting on lotion afterward, but still they itch. what could cause this, and better yet how can i make it stop

I've had that problem before and I think it was a combination of working out a lot with a sweaty sports bra rubbing them and the dry weather. I just put a lot of lotion on and it went away after a few days.

jessica, i've had the same problem for the past week or so and it's getting out of hand. my nipples are itching like mad, even though i rub cacao and coconut butter, creams and oils on them-- nothing seems to help. i haven't changed anything like my diet, bras or detergent. the only change i noticed is that my breasts are fuller and harder. i will be getting it checked out by the doctor if it persists.

i was wondering if your situation has gotten better or worse and if you found a remedy or diagnosis, what it was. i hope that you're not itching like crazy anymore as i still am.
