Why are nipples and breasts itchy?

There are a large number of glands gathered around the breasts, and these glands continuously secrete oil. If you do not pay attention to regular hygiene, over time these oils will become nutrients for the growth of bacteria, which will irritate the skin around the breasts, causing the breasts and nipples to itch, and possibly the entire chest to itch. In order to avoid this phenomenon, daily skin cleaning must be done carefully.

What is the reason for itchy nipples? There are many reasons for itchy nipples. The most important one is that women’s breasts are not cleaned properly. The excretion function of nipples accounts for 7% of our body. If women’s breasts are not cleaned in time, there will be a lot of bacteria in our nipples. Over time, the nipples will become itchy. In addition, women should pay attention not to wear bras with very deep sponges, as the breathability will be very poor, which will cause itchy nipples.

Why do men's nipples itch? It is actually quite rare for men to experience nipple itching, but this phenomenon cannot be ruled out. In life, itchy nipples in men are mainly directly related to personal hygiene issues. The most common itching sensation is caused by bacterial infection and failure to clean the skin surface. Patients are advised to pay attention to personal hygiene in a timely manner and wash their clothes in time after exercise. Otherwise, it is easy for bacteria to breed and induce skin infection, which is very adverse to their health.

Some female friends like to wear clothes made of chemical fiber materials, especially bras. However, it should be noted that bras made of chemical fiber materials are often not breathable, and sweat cannot be absorbed in time after sweating, so it accumulates around the breasts. If this continues for a long time, the breasts may develop eczema, or bacteria may grow and cause inflammation, making the breasts and nipples itchy.
