Peeling Nipples

by Nayeli
(Van Nuys, CA.)

Hello People! I am 6 months pregnant and I just started to have dry itching skin in the areola part of my breast! I was like "What the heck is this?" I started peeling the dry skin off and my skin began to irritate. So I went to the store to buy some hydrocortisone cream. As soon as I got home I quickly applied it and it relieved the itching part, I was happy. Next day I was expecting the dryness to go away but it didn't! Well just a little, but still wasn't happy about the results. So then I was like " Now what?". I called my aunt to see if she had this problem while she was pregnant. ( She's already had her baby and is breastfeeding at the moment) She told me yes she did, she said "Try this" she came out with this lanolin ointment thing and I applied it to the dry part and in just hours the dryness actually started to go away!!! I was so happy and I only need a little to actually make it go away completely! I'm gonna have to buy some of that stuff!
