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
