Hi, Im 18 and a female. Ive never had kids or been pregnant, but Im really worried about my nipples. Theyre a brownish color and look cracked, and Im scared the cracked areas might fall off or something. Should I be concerned about this?
You may be experiencing a condition called nipple fissures, which can be caused by various factors such as dry skin, friction, or certain skin conditions. To help with the cracked and brown appearance of your nipples, you can try using a lanolin-based nipple cream like Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream. Apply a small amount after showering and before bedtime to help moisturize and protect the skin.
