A member asked:

My three month old baby boy has dry/rough nipples. is this normal? what can i do to treat this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Moisturize: As with dry, rough skin anywhere on the body, then answer is to moisturize it. It's also helpful to use a moisturizing soap. If you do this and it worsens anyway, he might have mild eczema and need a mild medicine for it. In this case, see your doctor.
