  5. Ive been having this issue for about 2 years now. The skin at the tip of my nipples gets dark brown or even black, and it feels hard, almost like it's dry and cracked. When I peel it off and apply cream or lotion, it gets better, but as soon as I stop using it, the problem comes back. Im 19 years old. Can you tell me why this is happening and what I should do?

The dark brown or black, hard, dry, and cracked skin on the tip of your nipples may be a sign of nipple eczema, dermatitis, or hyperpigmentation, and to manage it, apply a fragrance-free moisturizer, avoid harsh soaps, and consider consulting a dermatologist
