itchy

i have recently been getting itchy nipples, this occurs on both breasts and the itchiness comes and goes, it feels like hairs sticking in the skin. i haven't changed my washing powder or soap and there is no redness or lumps or any noticeable changes, the only thing different is the nipples are sore to press but only the nipples not the breast.

You might consult a Dermatologist concerning your problem. The skin on the breasts is the same as skin on any other part of the body and subject to the same problems. The soreness is no doubt due to irritation from scratching. A Dermatologist could no doubt recommend some medication to apply to relieve the itching.    Regards ....
