Dry nipples: Causes of nipple dryness
-
The nipples are a very sensitive part of the body. Some women as well as men experience dry nipples that may be accompanied by some other symptoms such as itching and pain. Most causes of dry nipples are benign and temporary, such as hormonal changes and friction. In rare cases, nipple changes indicate breast cancer, so it's important to know the warning signs. In most cases, it is possible to treat nipples that feel dry with over-the-counter treatments or home remedies. If a patient experiences nipple discharge, nipple pain or tenderness that lasts for more than a few days, it is important to see a doctor so he can identify the cause. More serious causes usually require professional medical treatment. Finally, some ways reduce the risk of nipple dryness.

Friction and nipple dryness

Nipples are very sensitive and fragile. When they rub against clothing or other objects, they dry quickly and crack.

Especially in the winter months, patients are more likely to suffer from dry nipples due to friction, as cold weather makes the skin more prone to drying out
