why is it around my nipple is itchy? what cause it? why its doing like that?

Answer 1

If it's dry skin I wouldn't recommend adding moisturizers or oils to your nipples because your breasts naturally secrete a protective layer of antibacterial oil, the balance of which can be compromised if you put foreign substances, such as lotions or soaps, on them. Rinsing your breasts with warm water instead of using soap or, heaven forbid, scrubbing them, can help keep them from getting dried out along with sufficient water intake. You should take your weight in pounds. Then divide that number by two. The number you get is how many ounces of water your body needs to function properly every day. If it's particularly hot or dry you should even drink more. Your skin could also be dry because of a deficiency in essential fatty acids, like omega-3/6.

You didn't say you're breast feeding, but if you are, itching nipples accompanied by redness can also be a sign of a yeast infection there. To help kill the yeast and soothe the itch you can take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a cup of warm water and pour it over each nipple a couple times a day and then let them air dry until you no longer suffer from the symptoms.

Answer 2

It could quite possibly be the air conditions of your area. We live in a very dry area, and especially now that weather is changing into "winter mode," the air could have a great effect on all parts of your skin, no matter where it's located. I know women here complaining of the same exact problem. But it's nothing serious, just keep it moisturized as often as possible. Soon, your skin will get adjusted and it won't bother as much.

Answer 3

Mine does that sometimes. Usually when I am nearing my cycle of terror. Sometimes just dry skin or the clothing I wear. I find it more in the winter because of the dryness.
