Dry nipple

I posted on here in July I think... was a good few months ago about my boobs hurting and uneven nipples and I had an appointment and the doctor said I had nothing to worry about and all the symptoms were hormonal which I believed because I had just had a baby last year and understand my body is changing. However, last week my nipple started hurting (feels fine now) and literally an hour ago I felt my nipple had dry skin and felt like hard skin. I put Vaseline over it and it feels fine now, a lot softer but was just seeing if you think this is anything to worry about? I will ring doctors anyway because I'm health anxious but just looking to ease my mind as it's just the one nipple. Thank you 

  • I'm sorry about the changes you've noticed in your nipple Terri but I hope you've managed to get an appointment with your doctor and they're able to ease your worries.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experienced similar issues will get back to you soon as well.

    All the best,
