First pregnancy and not positive what to do about my nipples?

Question

So I'm 17 weeks pregnant and for about the last week or two my nipples have been really dry, they're starting to crack and are really really itchy. They almost hurt and I was just wondering what some solutions would be to help make them not how they are.
I did go and pick up nursing pads along with lansinoh HPA is a nursing cream. It does say you can use it in your last trimester to wase dryness and promote healthy looking supple skin.

Just wondering what else I could try?

Thanks so much in advance!

Yeah any nursing cream should work. If not, Vaseline or St. Ives Vanilla lotion.

That cream should work find on its own but you could also put some aloe vera lotion on them helps with dry skin a lot or the aveeno oatmeal lotion is great too. This will sound odd but carmex may work as well i use it on my knuckles in the winter time because they get very dry and crack and it helps them really good I believe they make a lotion now anyways.
