Asked By:msw0711 in Jacksonville, FL

2 almost 3 months post op and I'm healing great all incision are closed by my right nipple is so dry flaky in itchy it's driving me crazy, I have my nipples pierced and I don't want to take them out so I've removed the right one. Whenever I itch it it's like it never relents and I've been putting moisturizer and bacitracin on it and it seemed to help for a short period but it always comes back Itching with a vengeance. Ps I'd go to my PC but he's about and 1:15 mins away And I'm in school full time help!
