A member asked:

One of my 13 year old daughter's nipples is sort of crusty looking and will have cracks in it. sometimes the skin will peel off.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nipple chafing: The condition is easily treated by applying an anti-chafing balm, petroleum jelly, or neosporin/bacitracin ointment to the nipple. Friction may be the primary cause against clothing.
