Nipples craking and drying and fall off!

i am having a terrible feeling. I am a pregnent women of 3 mth now. But my nipples are very strange ! My both nipples are really Big, bigger than any usual unmarried girl. Moreover, i heard that there is lesser sensitivity on the nipples than other part of the body. But my one is not. just a small touch and both nipples stand up. But that do not worry me. What worry me is the skin of the nipples are drying up and then it fall off and then they grow up again and then dry and then peel off. The skin will peel of easier with water. Just like finger that is under water for hours. It become disintergrated.
I have the sickness for more than 7 years now and i have seen my doctor. MOst of them advise me to us lotion to apply of nipples to prevent them from drying and cracking. But it did not help. It turned even dryer and easier to fall off! Some doctor said that i am having a Hyper Keratosis of nipples but i am not sure if that is right? I would be doing a breastfeeding to my baby and i don't know if i can.

Anyone is having the same sickness . Pls kindly advise what it really is.

Thanks a lot

I'm 17 and have the same problems with the very ends of my nipples drying and cracking and coming off. Its been going on for a little while now and it makes me so nervous to be around my boyfriend,afraid of what he is thinking (if he even noticed there was anything wrong) if you find anything please let me know! Good luck.

i have three nipples and it is happening to all three of them. i was with my boyfriend and i suddenly found my nipple on his lap.
A doctor recommended for me to smear pee all over my nipples. It sounds strange i wrong, i know. But it works.
God Bless.

hi, i read what you guys are talking about. I've had the same problem but i noticed it when i was 12 and i am now 18! Nothing comes out of my nipples and it doesn't hurt. I just tend to notice it monthly now. It's like a irritating feeling. My doctor said it could be a skin reaction or irritation to bras or tshirts. She said she look around for me and try to find out. I'm really scared.

I had the same problem a few years ago that was caused from the type of soap I was using. It was drying out my nipples because they were more sensitive to it then the rest of my skin

For the ones of you that are pregnant and having this problem. All pregnancies are different and you are probably having the milk symptoms meaning your milk for your child is coming in faster than other women who are pregnant they have a cream that you can ask your doctor about to help an itchy nipple to a peeling nipple. When i was pregnant that cream was my best friend!!!!!
