A member asked:
Everyday i feel itching on nipple area once or twice in a day...what the reason?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Itching : Could be potentially an infection called mastitis, usually a staph infection. Can occur if your breast feeding, sexually active and have micro tears of the skin around the nipple. Are you also dry and this is leading to itching, or the type of clothing is causing trauma to the nipple itself?
