Vaseline ultimately tends to dry out tissue, in my opinion. Try something like a moisturizing lotion, with Vitamin E and aloe. Might help..

Yes, I'd move over to lanolin for the time being. Or veggie oil from the kitchen, or aloe vera. You might ask a phamacist, but she would probably tell you to go to a doctor. When is the last time you had a general checkup? There could be something like a vitamin problem.

Suck it up, put on your big girl panties and visit a doctor. If this has been a problem for many years and you've had no additional problems, it's probably just an environmental allergy-soap, fabric or the like.
Try some pure Posner's Shea butter found in Wal-Mart for about $4.00. Or, Instead of being worried, go to a dermatologist and get it taken care of once and for all. You may have ecezema or some other skin condition than can be easily treated.

Try to use lansino oil it is found in the baby section for breastfeeding mothers...it worked for me when my nipples were raw and cracked from nursing. If that does not help then talk to a doctor...well talk to a doctor anyways for ONE> your doctor is getting paid for a reason and think of it this way (i do) there are people that go in for more imbarrassing things that me so what the heck...TWO> It could be something that needs to be fixed for your own good. Okay I had to talk about my wetness when I get excited and the doctor gave me options and I chose to stick with my issue...just talk to your doc...your parents do not have to know.

Go to the doctor! I just read an e-mail yesterday about a cancer (I forgot the name) that a girl died from and it sounded just like what you have. She said the doctor misdiagnosed it and when they finally figured it out and she went through chemotherapy it was too late and didn't help. A year later she died. I don't want to scare you, but it could be serious. Go see a doctor. The only thing different about her symptoms was that one part on her nipple got a whitehead like a pimple and oozed a little.

Don't be 2 shy to see a doctor. It can't be any worse than getting a pap test. Your parents are there to help you and so is the doc. I'm sorry I don't have any advise on what to do except call a doctor or go to webmd.com and type in your symptoms. Good Luck!

If your nipples are cracked,its not advisable to put anything on them without seeking a medical opinion.Bacteria can enter via cracked nipples.Try to find the courage to either talk to you Mother or to see a doctor,who would be able to prescribe you the correct treatment.
