OT - Embarrassing Woman question
| Sat, 02-14-2004 - 12:59am |
Okay, I feel really stupid asking this but.... has anyone ever had a problem with their nipples itching? For about the last week or so mine have been itching. There isn't any kind of rash or bumps. They look totally normal but itch! I tried checking WebMD, but didn't find anything there so I am hoping someone might know whats going on. I can't afford to go to the Dr until March

When the weather got cold here, my usually "normal" skin got really dry- including my nipples!! They itched for a few days (the right one in particular, actually-lol). I have put lotion on then since, and that has solved the problem... Hope you find a solution as simple. Itchy nipples sure are annoying!!! lol

Lucy, I think the answers you have already recieved would have been my suggestions too.
Thank you all SO much for your responses. I guess I'll be running out to buy a pregnancy test just to rule that one out.
Jess - I never thought about the sweaty sports bra. I am usually pretty good about taking it off as soon as I get home but sometimes I do run out to do some errands after my workout.
Tina - They do seem a little drier than normal so that could also be the culprit. I'll try some lotion too.
April - I will definately be sure to ask the Dr. I am a worrier. I like to know things for sure.
With all of these suggestions something HAS to work, LOL.

This is kind of unrelated but kind of related....
When I was pregnant we went to an outdoor wedding in the summer and it was really hot. I was wearing a dress and pantyhose. When I went to go to bed my tummy started to itch really bad (I couldn't sleep) so I smeared Gold Bond Itch Cream all over it and went to bed. For the next few days I carried that bottle of cream around with me EVERYWHERE.
A few months after I had my daughter I was watching TLC's Special Delivery. There was a lady who had the exact same thing that I had. I found out it was life threatening to myself and my baby!! That lady on the show ended up being on an IV and staying in the hospital for a few days. My pregnancy was totally complicated from day 1 but who would have thought that itching would be a sign of something really really bad?? Apparently, most cases of that (I forgot the name of it) clear up but there is always the exception.
If it makes you question yourself, take some action.
Until then...maybe it's something as small as a little bundle on the way?? *LOL*
