What does it meen wen ur nipples are peeling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably dry skin: Unless you are breast feeding or having discharge from your nipples, peeling of the skin of the nipple sounds more like a dry skin or eczema type problem and might respond to a daily moisturizer. Constant friction with the clothing could also contribute.
