fungal infection most likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX ,
I understand your concerns. Itchy nipples can be due to a fungal infection commonly. Are there any skin changes or any lump felt because RARELY it can be cancer, do not worry as its rare.
For the time being take frequent bath and apply neosporin powder and clotrimazole cream alternatively. If it does not heal in a week do let me know.
Hope this answers your query, please feel free to write back to me if you have doubts.
Kind regards
