nipples
I've been laying in the tanning bed lately & I burnt my nipples.
Now they have this scab-looking skin over them & its not attractive at all...
How can I speed up the healing process?

They make a cream for nursing mom's: lanolin-based nipple ointment. You can use any kind of lanolin ointment. It does not have to be for breastfeeding moms.
Also, be sure NOT to pick at the scab. You don't want to cause scaring or infections. Since you do have scabbing, you may want to also use an antibacterial ointment (neosporin).

Use some type of cream that contains minerals like aloe vera and vitamin E. Don't tan until it is healed ad do not scratch or pick at it.

Stay away from tanning bed until it heals first of all.
Also use a gel or ointment(such as aloa vera or vasiline maybe)
You can use a moisturizer or cream as well if it is rich in vit. A or E these vitamins are good for skin and should help heal them a bit faster. howvere be careful how much you use. If the nipple is irratated or the skin is broken dont use much or any at all just the gel.
If the burn is severe go to a doctor.
Good luck!

I would use aloe vera just to cool it down a bit. try putting on vaseline after tghough. it will soften the skin, although i wouldn't go it on, just a thin layer so it isn't uncomfortable.
