Worried about itchy nipples.

[chill18]

Over the past month I have had intense itching on my left nipple. It is very annoying. It has never been this bad before. I have not tried any new soap, bras etc. Could it have anything to do with allergies? I am having bad allergies this season.

I just got the same syptoms myself...very strange especially since I have very numb nipples normally-not at all senstitive. I didn't wear a nightshirt to bed the other day and woke with this condition. Sheets were clean and had just been washed a few days before...although my cat sleeps with me...maybe I'm allergic to her?  I thought it could either my hormones changing...breast cancer (I'm a bit of a hypocondriac), or allergy to my cat.

I do get the same symptom every month before my period. Very itchy nipples.  Have you seen a doctor yourself to find out the root cause?  What birth control are you if any?  It's happend to me since I started on the Mirena.

I sometimes get itchy nipples around the time of my period. I just put eucerin on them or a really thick mousterizer and it goes away. I would try this and if that doesn't help I would prob see  dr.
