Hello,
Itching could be due to dryness of the skin on and around the nipples and scratching on it leads to redness, holes on the nipple are there even if not breastfed. Is there any discharge coming from the holes? Try applying moisturizer daily in the skin, it should relieve the symptoms, if not then get a check up done by nearby doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
