OK so it started with a week before my period my breast nipples would be itchy and flaky and my GYN said it had to do with my Hormones. But the last 4 months or so they are itchy and flaky off and on, I will lotion them and they would be fine then I take off my bra and it is itchy crazy and they would be a little flaky not a lot. Then there are times they are not itchy but very flaky. I am 32 (and would be 33 in Nov 08), can my hormones be still going crazy. and it is just around the nipple, no where else but the brown part of the nipple. I feel like ripping them out, the itchy and flaky is worst around my period so I know that is hormones but what about the rest of the month

Hi weakforcake and welcome to the board.


With the symptoms you describe and the timing of the symptoms, I would agree with your doctor that it is most likely hormone related.
