Feel a bit embarrassed about this - but my left nipple is constantly itchy. I also have a red pin-prick itchy rash all over my arms, legs and back - and I am wondering if its connected. Im on anti-d's which make my nipples leak anyway so I cant tell if theres discharge. Do you think I'm worrying unnecessarily or not???

Mystery solved!! both of my boobs and nipples are covered in this rash - thinking it might be the washing powder. We have been using it for a few weeks now and I'm on antihistamines every day - so its a bit strange. Gonna change washing powder tomorrow to see if it is that. Feel a bit silly now lol

Changing washing powder can cause horrid rashes. To combat the itchy nipple until the rash goes you could try some lasinoh or similar nipple cream, if your nipples leak they can get dry and that makes them itchy so a bit of cream might help.

aww babe - hope it is just the washing powder change it and see if it helps, if not go to the docs maybe its an allergy to somethin else, i got an itchy nipple once and i scratched it that hard it bled had no rash though and it hasnt happened since thank god, it must be driving you nuts !!!

Could also be a heat rash! I had a similar thing on my back, chest and arms and it was where I was all wrapped up and still had my heating on full. I am more careful now and its gone.
