A woman's personal health question..sigh?
I just wanted to know if anyone besides me experiences this in the winter time. Why is it in the winter, my nipples become dry, itchy, and peel dry skin? Any one ever experience this or have a clue?

Yes, the dryness in the air inside.
I go to the health club and sit in the sauna, and I put on
honestly, you are going to freak out, but, its the truth
Vaseline on my body.
It is NOT greasy, it rubs in and softens every where.
Think about it, it is used on baby's butts.
It works, really and truly♥

Keep in mind during the winter you are wearing extra layers of clothing and just like your arms, hands and legs dry up so do other parts of your body. Use the same lotion you use for your legs and hands. it should help..
Good luck

Not my nipples, but my breasts in general get dry and itchy...and I have even noticed some peeling, it's nasty, I just apply lotion and it helps.

genuinely i'm uncertain how this is going to heal, yet given which you're vendors to an infection, you may somewhat get it regarded at via a physician. It seems such as you may desire stitches for it to heal thoroughly.

the dry cold air is hard on our skin. esp. our more sensitive areas. try baby oil, or heavy body cream and apply everyday. good luck

i've never experienced it, but to me that sounds pretty normal. i dont see why your nipples are any different then your regular skin. use lotion on them and see if that helps, if it bothers you alot or you think its abnormal seeing a dr. about it wouldnt hurt for peace of mind

judgin by your picture i assume your a black girl, or dark skined girl. people with dark skin have these issues. its very common. it can also be a reaction to some types of laundry detergent aswell. just use a moisterizing skin treatment and it should clear it up over time. if not adermatologist can help you.

if it is both breasts don't worry about it - just put cream on it or baby oil. If it is only one go to the doctor.
