Fact or fiction: Your nipples itch when your boobs grow


 

Check these out, too...

  • Fact or fiction: Wearing a bra stops your breasts from growing
  • 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?
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.

Hey girl,

While it may be a little awkward to talk to your mom and friend about this, just pull each of them aside and tell them that you don't want to embarrass them but just want to make sure they are aware of this. They'll be really happy that you let them know. x0x0

MOD*MOD*MOD*MOD*MOD*MOD
1* I've got huge lumps and hard tissue around the perimeter of my nipples/boobs. They really hurt and I'm freaking out cause I thought breast buds were tiny ....?! I've had them for about a year or so ....
2* I've had discharge for maybe .... the past 3 or 4 months ... does this mean my period is on it's way? I've got heavy, really dark pubic hair (TMI?), but other than the lumps, no boobs.
3* I'm kinda embarrased about my shape. I'm a ruler, 5'4, 90 lbs., no butt, no boobs. Frown Is there anyway I can get curves? If not, how to I feel better about my body?




Hey girl,

  1) You should absolutely see a doctor about the lumps to make sure everything's OK.  2) Discharge is a sign that your period is coming, but since everyone is different, it's hard to tell when exactly that time will be. 3) Don't be embarrassed at all about your shape. Everyone looks different and has their own unique body--and you should love yours! x0x0

Mod!!!!! So I wanna go bra shopping with my mom the last time I got new bras was in December, I got 3 I only wear 4 main bras and I just got rid of my small ones so I don't have that many bras now.... How should ask my mom???? Advice please!!! Thank you




Hey babe! Since you've already been once it's not that hard to ask again. Just tell her that you got rid of the ones you don't wear anymore and now you need some more. Tell her you only have a few left. Everyone wears bras, she will understand. Good luck!

MOD,MOD,MOD!! So when I'm at school or a really crowded place like the mall, everyone bumps into me. I know this is normal but it really hurts when someone accidentally hits my chest area. I'm developing, so it really hurts, and I wince or say OW!! People always ask me whats wrong, and I have to just blush and say nothing. Anyway to stop or help this painful process? Thanx Smile




Hey girlie,

The best advice I can think of is to wear a bra with a bit of padding in it - it'll give your boobs a little pillow ;) You could also take a pain killer like Advil or Tylenol if you're feeling really tender. It's tough because this is a phase we have to get through, but it's totally normal!
