I only read your post on May 12 I hope this information isn't too late.
I've had two women with these cracked nipples that didn't respond to most
treatments.  I thought of biology.  Skin.  What makes good skin.  Protein
makes good skin and especially protein + Vitamin C which helps to make
collagen.  Great building blocks for healthy skin.  So I recommended
Shakl** protein powder 1-3 Tbls per day and Vitamin C 500 2-4 per day and
one of the women also took zinc tablets 15mg a day (All Shakl** brands as I
like that they have clinical research on people) and they both had the
problem go away.  Would it have gone away on its own?  I don't know, but I
do know the two times I've recommended it, it has worked.  If you do try it
and it works for you too could you email me directly as I am no mail for
the moment.  TIA
