A member asked:

I get this nipple crust and i can pick it out but it hurts. i've never had any kids and i've had this for as long as i can remember. is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Crust: This appears to be a contact rash that may worsen with sweating. For the crusting, you can apply hydrocortisone 1% local 2x/d for itching and redness. At night, you can apply neosporin ointment to lubricate and keep from crusting. If it worsens. contact Derm MD through healthtap.
