What Causes Dry Nipples?

The answer to this question would very much depend on whether you are male or female and how severe the problem is. It is also worth noting that this answer merely lists some common medical conditions and is in no way a diagnosis for a medical condition. Such questions should be referred to a doctor or other such medical professional as they will be far more knowledgeable on the medical conditions and the treatments for such conditions.

• Some common medical conditions

Dry nipples could stem from a variety of medical conditions, or could even be a symptom for another medical condition. Firstly, and most simply, the condition could just be a skin condition such as eczema as this can affect the nipple area and the skin surrounding the nipple. It is also possible that the dryness around the nipple can be caused by an irritation, rash or allergic reaction to a chemical, washing powder or material. In this case it is just a case of avoiding the material that irritates the area. Other skin infections and diseases such as shingles can also affect the nipple area. If you are female then pregnancy and or breastfeeding can also cause dry or sore nipples and a midwife should be able to give good advice on the reasons and prevention for this. This is not an uncommon problem and is usually very easy to treat and completely cure. A small amount of research has shown that many people suffer from similar conditions.

• Caution

As previously stated, this dryness could even be a symptom of a more serious condition so it is always worth getting some advice from a doctor, who will be able to give advice and properly diagnose any medical conditions. As doctors are professionals you should not be embarrassed about asking them as they will be able to help.

Dry skin  can  come  any where
on   our  bodies ,  And  I would

My nipple is dry and flaky almost like "snake skin" I put lotion on my body every day (including my breasts) and I have not changed my soap any one have any idea what could be causing it ?

You could be pregnant, or it could be a reaction to something your using like soap etc. Just rub vaseline or moisturiser on it after every shower and this should help.
