What causes the nipple to itch?

Varies: If no rash, then hormonal changes premenstrually or during pregnancy can do this. Also some non-cotton bras may sometimes contribute.

Soap, lotion, or...: Are you using a new soap, lotion or powder? A new bra? All of these things can cause irritation to the nipple. Do you have a rash along with the itching? If so, then you need to see your doctor. There is a rare form of cancer called paget's that can occur without a mass but a rash. You may need to see your doctor for an evaluation.
