My nipples are peeling
Hi I'm 17 years old and recently i have noticed that my nipples have been cracked and peeling. I peel the skin off and it burns and i cant touch them at all. Im not sure that this is cancer because of my age but i would really like to know what to do because i get regular periods am not sexually active and am not on birth control. Could someone help me?

Yeah, I think anything like that is a dr needed thing...however to ease it you could try nipple cream for nursing mothers (lanolin). It works for cracked nipples in that situation...

the same exact thin is happening to me but on only one breast. It was not too bad at first; just itchy, but now its getting bad, more like a open wound. idk if i should see a doctor :(
Thanks guys, I figured it wasn't super serious and i plan to go back for my regular derm check up to figure this wierd thing out. I really appreciate your help :)
Hi,
Your nipples could be aggravated by exposure to irritants including , soap, detergents,lotions and maybe also wearing a new bras which could be irritating your skin.A visit to a dermatologist would be a good idea to find out if this is an allergic reaction or some sort of skin problem that needs to be treated .
It is very difficult to give you a precise answer concerning your problem,but in my opinion this is not a sign of breast cancer particularly because it's happening on both your nipples. For exact diagnosis,I would urge you to consult your doctor/dermatologist.
Take care and God Bless..
