Anyway, the thing is, my teeny tiny nipples on my teeny tiny boobs have been bothering me lately and I don't know why.

It's not inward it's outward, my nipples have been dry and cracked, and they've been very scratchy. They've also been discharging a yellowish liquid.

I think it's the material of my bra since I did buy new bras, but then again I used cotton, and it was the same way but never as much. This was a rarity before, but it's been happening a lot lately.

My nipples don't want to be touched by any kind of cloth, and because of the liquid, it get's stuck to it. At one point it go so dry it started to bleed a little.

I know it's kind of personal but I was hoping for some advice. My mom doesn't like these issues and she wants me to have a doctor look at it. I also want to know the psycological reason for this.

P.S. I'm a very small girl, some people think I'm 12 years old. Maybe it's the material being too tight, I don't know!

I haven't been in our dream forum lately -- have you had any disturbing dreams lately? On a very general level skin irritations and itchiness indicate a toxin in the body/mind that exits via the skin. But I would consider it very worthwhile to see a dermatologist, as this sounds like an infection.

Wish I could be more helpful!

Are you using a new soap or washing detergent/powder?

It sounds like either an infection or hormonal changes.

I agree with what has been said - go see your naturopath/doctor. It sounds like its linked to your hormones - i went through similar stuff

The thing i will add though is that your breasts (however small/big or odd shaped) are part of your lymphatic system. It has been proven (But is not widley known), that bras inhibit the flow of lymph through your system, and in turn are directly linked to breast cancer in women. I don't wear a bra (Yes - i have small boobs so i am lucky) - and i would urge you to consider giving them a miss till you are older/bigger

Take care - and get well soon

Some medical anthropologists suggested a link between breast cancer and bras. They surveyed women, but their study didn’t control for or identify preexisting breast cancer risks among the women surveyed. (for example: Western Diet -> larger breasts which require more bra support -> dense breast collect more carcinogens + more difficult to detect initial stages of cancer). This link wasn’t exactly proven, but requires well planned out and lengthier studies. The study didnt even make it into scientific literature.

Plus lack of blood/lymph doesn’t cause cancer. It’s the errors in DNA coding that accumulate via DNA replication that causes that.

A dermatologist, or naturopath would be good I agree.

I finally went to my doctor. This problem has been going on for more then a month now, and I finally got to to talk to him today. He told me that it wasn't anything serious and that that my nipples were being irrated by the material and the detergent I was using. He suggested that I use super-sensitive detergent and wash any bra after I buy it. He also had to check if I was leaking milk but there was no sign of that. All in all it was an allergic reaction that became a form of excema. The only time I had excema was when I was a baby girl. So after that, he prescribed me a cream that I will be putting on for the next couple of weeks.
