Aveeno cream is great on dry skin. It doesn't have perfumes to irritate the skin worse. Try applying that several times a day before you start worrying.

If the dry-skin cream doesn't work, it's probably some kind of bacterial/fungal infection since it's only your right one. A doctor may give you some cream to clear it up. Breastfeeding moms sometimes get nipple infections. It's pretty common. Make sure your get a breast exam at the doctor to put your mind at ease. I doubt it's cancer. There are lots of other causes but just check to make sure.

If link doesn't work, go to http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com and search "nipple itch"

Read the above site. It has good information and links.

dry skin try putting a good lotion on after showering ,it will help!

I don't think it's breast cancer. It's probably just dry skin. Lotion will help.

It's just chaffing because it's a sensitive area and winter makes your skin dry out. No worries.

put vasaline on it or lotion like aloe ok good luck

This is so funny because its happening to me tooo and my right one but do put lotion it helps bye

Try changing to a different material for the bra you wear, I had the same problem and the lotion helps also.
