I have a really embarrassing question?!
Question: I have a really embarrassing question?
Lately, my nipples have been very sore, itchy and red. They've always had these little cracks in them too, and i really don't know why. I'm 14, and I've started my period already. If anyone knows what this is or how to get rid of it, that would be a really big help xx
Answers:
Its natural, I'm 17 and sometimes i get that often caused by soap that hasnt been washed off properly or an irritating bra that maybe hasnt been rinsed properly.
You are 14, still growing, your hormones are going haywire it is perfectly natural. Best thing to do is make sure there is nothing to irritate the skin and you dont start touching them so they cant bother you :)
your body is changing all the way around it's normal you see when we start our periods the boobs go through changes as well you half to keep them from getting dry skin use a good lotion with aloe or cocoa butter to help also what will help with the soreness is ice or a warm towel and don't for get there still growing just don't scratch them all the time that will make them sore as well
Its probably your hormones especially because of your age. I suggest you bathe them in some luke warm water then apply some sudecrem. It will sting but it will be worth you while. If the problem persists then you should see a Doctor.
personal experience.
Do you run or exercise often? if you do, thats runners nipple, it, very common, two solutions, wear a tighter sport bra, or under armor compression shirt if you wear that, OR put bandaids over your nipples before you run.
First answer is dont think you should be asking this question here, best policy would be to ask your parents and not the public. Secondly if your not happy asking parents make appointment with your GP. Good luck.
Sounds like a skin irritation.
Could be your soap, washing powder, the fabric of your bra......
Try lanolin, or a mild moisturising cream.
first of all they are getting bigger with you being in puberty. second boobs always start to grow more and feel sore and itchy 1 week(or less depends on the person) before you have your period every month
Try a new bra and soap, and use lotion after you shower.
