A member asked:
My nipples are very itchy and feel like they are being rubbed with sandpaper. is that a sign of pregnancy? do women have to have symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Itchy nipples: Most commonly itchy nipples are caused by dryness and eczema. Try a fragrance free moisturizing cream or petroleum jelly and switching to a mild fragrance free soap and laundry detergent. If that doesn't help, please see your dermatologist.
