What Causes Itching In The Nipples?
I have a fifteen year old that has been complaining of itchy nipples for over a month. We tried different lotions, Vaseline, but not much relief. Today she removed her white bra and was terrified by finding discharge in her bra. I need to say that she is large chested for her age. I have never experienced anything like this, so not sure what to do. She just had a menstrual cycle, and is on birth control. Advice?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The itching nipples with discharge indicate possible infection or inflammation. I recommend to keep the part clean with antiseptic liquid, avoid tight bra and have a prescription of anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medicine to cure it fast.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Purva Patel
