Dear kelc, Skin on the breast and nipples is like skin anywhere on the body and is subject to a variety of skin problems (including dry winter skin). Over the internet without examination, we cannot say for sure what this is. Having it checked by your doctor who can evaluate and determine what the best course of action would be to address this problem.
