Dry/cracked nipples

Elana

Does anyone else have dry, cracked nipples this early? I thought that was mostly a breastfeeding thing. I've had them for months now and it's not going away, I need to get some cream.

They're not bleeding or leaking anything, but they're like really sore, and then dry and cracked. I can literally pick off the dry skin and honestly when I do kinda exfoliate the dry skin off they feel better.

Is this normal to be so early on? What helps them?
