The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of nipple itch. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms.

  • Clothing irritation
  • Bra irritation
  • Soap allergy
  • Perfume allergy
  • Fungal infection
  • Hormone replacement therapy
  • Paget's disease
  • Allergy to laundry detergent
  • Breast cancer
  • Eczema
  • See also causes of itching skin
  • Nipple rash
  • Contact dermatitis
  • Candidiasis

This can also be a sign of breast growth.

They could just be dry. Put a little Vaseline or lotion on them everyday and see if it helps. If not get baby oil and put it on when you're in the shower.

Because when blood rushes to the nipple it sometime gets mini clots in it and causes an irration.

Dryness around and on the nipple, try applying Vaseline or lotion after shower to ease the discomfort. If its hurts when itching, then seen a doctor, could be some infection.
