Fact or fiction: Your nipples itch when your boobs grow

Check these out, too...

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.

ok my boobs hurt so much latly but they
dont itch and they feel sore and it feels like someone poking you in the chest and it hurts alot ,i thought it was my bra so i stoped wearing it but it still hurts every so ofter and it brothers me alot somtimes when i wake up all of a sudden my breast hurt, i thought it wasnt normal cause im only ** and i thought only teens get pains in the chest cause their older so it that normal for me to get pains in that area ?

Hey girlie! It's totally normal for someone your age to get pains in your boobs. You're just developing early. I know it hurts, so you can ask your mom if there is any medicine you can take, like ibuprofin or advil, she'll know what will work best for you. It's one of the warning signs that your period is coming, but it may take another whole year for your period to actually come. It's your body and it will decide when it's ready. xoxo

Sometimes one of my boobs will be bigger than the other one day but then the next day they are the same size. Some may say this is natural but I just think it's wierd. Is this normal to happen?

Hey girl,

Yes, this is normal, and does happen to some people. The reason could be that you're about to get your period or you're retaining water because of too much salt. But even though you're self-conscious about it, chances are nobody's really noticed if your boobs are different sizes, so you shouldn't worry about it.

I've noticed my breasts are growing strangely. They are growing outward they are growin more around my nipple. I'm freaked out because they aren't growing out they are just becoming rounded around my nipple. I also wear the same size bra as my friend but her breasts she said grow out! What is wrong with me?? Lol!!!!!

Hey babe! Don't worry, it's totally normal. Everyone's boobs are different. So don't panic. Nothing is wrong with you. Your breasts will develop at their own speed and in their own way. If it makes you really uncomfortable you can talk to your mom, your doctor, or another trusted adult. xoxo
