colostrum and dry areolas

[Dansta]

if i've posted this in the wrong spot mods feel free to move it.

I'm 22 weeks and my areolas are dry and at times ichy. i've also found i'm leaking a little already would this make things ichy as it drys? i also have a small cut just above the areola thanks to DS and pulling himself up on me - whilest i only hand a tank top on, would colostrum help that heal as i've found right as a scab has healed over it gets bumped and it starts all over again, i know BM helps with nipples when BFing so i was wondering if this would be the same?

i hope that made some sense...

I remember being itchy everywhere later in pregnancy and being told that it just happens to some people.
However, just areolas is a bit odd. Have you tried lansinoh - it would at least fix the dryness and help protect the cut a bit. BM helps with some infections - it wouldn't hurt to try - but you are supposed to let it dry, which if you're leaky may be a bit of a challenge.
And if that doesn't work then you may want to see your GP and get a swab for a potential infection or thrush.

good luck!
