Why does my one nipple keep getting dry? Does anyone have remedies?

I've noticed that the week after my period is over or so one of my nipples gets some dry skin on the inside of the hole? It also gets a little red. It lasts for a few days then goes away.

It doesn't itch or burn or anything. It just sticks up a little easier than usual during that time and has that dry skin/flaky stuff coming off a little bit.

I have used this scented lotion by Aveeno but I'm not sure if there's something better to use?

(Note; I'm not currently pregnant but did start on a new birth control pill and then switched to Nexplanon. That's when it started happening).
