I nursed my son for 16 months. During the course of that time a small dark spot (not raised, just flat surface of skin) developed near the aerola of my breast. I thought it was due to his having bit me more than once during the course of weaning, or the fact that my skin around the nipple would often crack, and was always healing or bleeding.. Now a month after I've completely weaned my son off, my nipple is always peeling dry skin, and making way for fresh new skin underneath. However, it still has that dark spot that appears smaller, but itches like crazy! I've tried different ointments like Lansinoh, Vaseline, and Neosporin, but nothing stops the itch. I've done a breast examination twice and feel nothing different or wierd. So I don't think it's that. Is this normal? Does anyone know what's wrong with me? I plan to go to my GYN soon but I just started a new job and can't find the time to go as of yet..
Please help!
