I am breastfeeding for 3mos now and my left breast particularly the areola- is peeling and somewhat itchy. what could it be?

Cracked nipple: your nipple is probably irritated from Breast feeding. Youight want to apply a lotion, called lanolin lotion to help preventing cycling and bleeding from the nipple
