During Puberty Scratched Boobs, Nipples. Areola Has Healed And Nipples Haven't. Pus Formation In Nipples. Chances Of Recovery?
Three months ago I started scratching my boobs and nipple a lot because of puberty, and the after affects we're horrendous. My aerola has healed but my nipples haven't. It gets dry, flaky and when those flakes peel off because of the friction against my bra, my nipple gets pus oozing out and it sticks to my bra, causing it to peel off more dried skin. What has happened and how can I heal it?

Its probably infected and eczematous.
Use saline soaks and dont pick the scabs.
take oral antibiotics for a week. I think Amoxycillin or Amoxycillin/clavulanic acid combination would do.
Appy Mupirocin ointment twice daily
