What have you tried using so far? The problem with skin irritations is they tend to be a vicious circle. Irritation starts,you naturally scratch it to relieve it.. that makes the irritation even worse... next thing you have scabs... and it still itches.
THink of it this way during the pregnancy blood vessels grew and engorged the breast tissue... eventually (though 3 months is way early to me) milk production slows and stops and the body says return to normal.. that means blood flow lessens and that sets you up for dryness...
Have you discussed this with your OB/GYN to see about locally available products that are recommended above others? As well as discuss if there is a reason for lactation ending this soon for you.

Don't laugh at this suggestion.. I'm being serious... best stuff for extremely chapped skin is something called Bag Balm... great for even guys hands working outside in winter... farmers use it on cow udders for the same reason.. and yes its safe. Some drug stores carry it... I know Rite Aid does and I am a LONG way from any farms.

AH... you know they probably don't. And if there was something similar.. I wouldn't have a clue who would make it there.

Here is what it looks like, so check the UK Amazon --
Amazon.com: BAG BALM 1 oz: Pet Supplies
Also, something very similar is Radiaplex, a lovely cream that a doctor prescribes for a woman getting breast radiation after cancer surgery. I'm guessing you could get that there or something similar. Xxx
