Hi, I got referred to a dermatologist who said that a lot of pregnant women get itchy nipples (I wasn't just ichy there tho, I was itchy all over!). He wrote out a few prescriptions for some quite strong creams- one being beta something? I tried every kind of moisturiser and 'natural' cream but I had to resort to the prescription cream. He insisted that it would not do any harm to the baby and that I would only need to use it for 10days to clear them up and then just apply occasionally when they flare up. It has worked and is SUCH a relief!!!!!!!!
What about vaseline? Might need to use some breast pads. I find it helpful underneath the breasts where I've got the itch. Mine just seems to be where the skin is tight.
Thanks Ladies,
Mine are not at the bleeding stage but they are constantly itchy, I must look for strange at work trying to be discrete at work but they just get the better of me.
i went to the chemist and asked the pharmacist he referred me to use weleda calendula healing cream and it worked wonders was $20 a tube but what you dont use whilst pregnant you can use once bubs is here for any lil thing on them so no waste going on thats about as natural as you can get i think.
