I’ve been using my electric pump once or twice a week when my breasts leak bad. The act of pumping doesn’t hurt, but provides relief rather. I’ve noticed that I’ve got what looks like skin tags or sores (dry peeling/flaking skin, but still attached) around my nipples on my areolas. They’re a little painful, but mostly itchy. Is this from pumping? Is this a normal pregnancy symptom due to hormonal changes? I think the flange fits well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks!
