Hi lovely ladies I have for the last couple of weeks noticed extremely dry nipples. And when I sweat they get very tender and get fissures/cracks. It freaks me out... Is this just another sign of peri? Any of you experience the same? • Troldepus
hello there!
I have had nipple issues for sometime now since starting peri…mine start out with intense itching…then they get flaky so I have to moisturize like crazy. if I dont catch it I end up having to use hydrocortisone. 4 years into per I I dont have this issue near as often. just lots of hot flashes now! so much to look forward to…lol.
I’ve had dry and flaky skin on my breast itchy nipples and skin , it happen about four times in 5years since I started perimenopause.
Hi T, Maybe you could try some eczema cream/ointment, its great for broken skin and moisturizing, colloidial oatmeal has a great effect on itchy, dry, irritated skin, try a hydrating body wash, you can also use something with aloe, petroleum jelly, etc… (it keeps in moisture and blocks irritants, you can cover with bandaids) keeping your clothing from rubbing, wear smooth tops or bras…there are a number of ointments that you could try with steroids & moisturizer, you can ask your DR for suggestions on best treatment..Good Luck:wedding:
