Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  You can use a moisturiser like elovera imf to apply on the nipples in the night. It should be alright in a day or two. If it doesn't, then get it checked out by a dermatologist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
