Fact or fiction: Your nipples itch when your boobs grow


 

Check these out, too...

  • Boob hair: Normal or not?
  • Could I have Huge Boob Syndrome?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Do these blue veins on my boobs mean I'm sick or something?
  • My nipples won't make up their minds
I’ve heard that when your boobs are growing, your nipples itch. Is that true?


This one falls somewhere between fact and fiction. When your breast tissue is growing, you might feel a little sore or tender to the touch. They can also feel itchy because your skin is stretching to accommodate the larger size of the underlying tissue. So yes, your nipples might be itchy while your boobs are growing.


But…your nipples could be itchy for other reasons, too. Things like scratchy fabric, an allergy to your laundry detergent or super dry skin. Take a peek at your boobs. If your nipples look red and irritated, try wearing softer clothes and rubbing some moisturizer into the dry skin after you shower.

one of my breats was hurting a few weeks ago, i couldnt bear the pain, i looked at it and the nipple was a different color than normal, also it looked a bit bigger. then a few days later it the pain went away, and it was very tender and hard, what does this mean?




Hey girly,

You should definitely go to the doctor as soon as you can to make sure everything's OK. It could just be a sign that your breasts are developing, or it could be something more so you should go to the doctor too see what it is. x0x0

@ LOLLYPOPS
both me n my sis have big boobs too, and wen ur out shopping with ur mom pick out a cute top u like that isnt too tight or low cut (becuz u are only 12) and if she thinks its too sexy, maybe try it on and visually show her, ur really just a normal teenager (becuz a b/c cup is the average size of a girls bra), and if that doesnt work, have a talk with her that is kind of blunt, just saying, i kno i hav big boobs, but that doesnt mean im goin to become a sl*t just because im wearing clothes that show im curvier than sum other girls bcuz the only point of growing up is that ur gonna get a womans body, whether ur 10, or 20, its eventually going to happen to everybody, it just happened to u a lil earlier than sum other girls, but it does NOT mean u shood hide it! good luck girlie!

Ok i have a problem. I am 12 years old and have big boobs (im a c cup). Thats not the problem though, I love having big boobs they make me feel confident. However my mum doesnt see it that way. She wont let me wear anything that shows i have breasts and i cant where anything that shows im wearing a bra (like when you can see the straps because im wearing a singlet)She buys everying high cut and really baggy! What can I do?? Please dont say calmly talk to her about how i feel, because i have and it didnt work!! Thx

i got my period a couple of days ago and while i was in the shower blood started coming out. i thought this wasnt supposed to happen when i was wet?




Hey girl,

Despite what some people think, you do still bleed when you're in the shower. That's normal. x0x0

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
