Nipples burn after swimming?

It started about 2 years ago when I went to the beach. I was in the ocean, and after a while they started burning. I was a little concerned, but ignored it. A short while after that, they started peeling:/

And everytime I swam in a pool or ocean, they start stinging like crazy...and turned bright red. Well they still do..Any treatments that I can use on this?? It's annoying and it hurts. And I'm worried it might affect any breastfeeding in the future

    you went swimming, it quite is my first clue, whether you had a swim suit on you will are transforming into sunburn, they're very gentle. additionally there would have been something in the water which you're allergic too, it might additionally be the Lycra on your swim suit. There would desire to be many reasons, did you carry a rubber or plastic waft? it might desire to have rubbed for the duration of your breast section. i'm think of it quite is an allergic or a burn, yet in case it is not, save a focused watch and after some days circulate see a doctor. it quite is larger to be risk-free than sorry. till then attempt rubbing neosporine or education H on them this might ease the burning sensation. something you attempt if it gets worse,end and phone the healthcare expert. you additionally can ask your close by pharmacist.

    It's probably caused by the friction of your swim suite. Or you could be allergic to the type of material your bathing suite is.

    Put some neosporen

    (triple antibiotic ointment)

    On them and air dry for a little while.

    Just because it's an (obscene) place doesnt mean it doesn't need air.

    Hope this helpss (:
