Can I put bandaids on my nipple?
Your nipples may keep getting darker as you get closer to delivery (maybe that’s nature’s way of making sure baby can find them when it comes time to breastfeed?). Whatever the reason, nipple darkening is perfectly normal, and your nips will typically fade to your pre-pregnancy shade after birth.
Don’t immediately be alarmed if you notice peeling, scaling, or flaking on your breasts or the skin around your nipples. This is a symptom of breast cancer, but it can also be a symptom of atopic dermatitis, eczema, or another skin condition.
Isolated third nipples can be removed via a simple procedure, similar to the removal of a mole. For supernumerary nipples connected with breast tissue, a mastectomy (removal) can be done.

Can nipple covers cause infection?
The Band-Aid Trick Sticking a band aid on your areola will help to stop nipples from sprouting — which can be quite noticeable when not wearing a bra. For the fashionistas, using nipple covers — like the one famously worn by rapper Lil’ Kim at the 1999 MTV VMAs — are a fun alternative.
