thanks everyone ... Lakritze ... been doing that a bit! ahhhhh!

Malcolm ... double bagging ... not a bad idea in cold climates!

Cherry ... had a friend recommend Desitin (yes the diaper rash stuff) it is such a heavy cream that it really seems to be helping .. don't like the idea of putting steroid cream onto my nipples .... probably nothing bad about it at all, just don't like the idea of it. But still have the odd moment here and there when I'd like to dig right through the skin to try to destory that itch! ah well.
