Mother of 23 month old baby called our support group and asked about the
cause of her constantly sore nipples. Soreness developed this spring when
baby was 15 months old. Nipples were sore and cracked skin looked dry and
peeling. 


nipples that are dry and peeling, could be a sign of eczema. The mom can appear to have Eczema,  possibly  infected.  A topical steroid ointment can be applied four times daily, and a topical antibiotic can be used twice daily  (riordan and Auerbach, second edition).
