What Causes Irritation And Soreness In Nipple After Skin Contact With Fertilizers?
Question: I am a 51 year old male and in last 10 days my breast have become sore around the nipple. I think I may have irritated them while unloading fertilizer from back of my truck. I rubbed both breast across the top of rear tailgate while lifting a a fifty pound bag of fertilizer.
Brief Answer:
Apply a lubricant like baby oil.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Sore nipple in males is usually due to injury to the breast tissue like by pinching or accident that may cause soreness of breast, infection of the breast is called mastitis, but is rare in males and also associated with swelling and redness, Pain in the underlying muscles or ribs may be mistaken for sore nipples and also abrasion and also rough cloths that you are wearing.
You can try to eliminate the soreness by wearing light cotton clothes that will not rub against your nipples. Apply a lubricant like baby oil or any moisturizer over the nipples. It will gradually heal in next few days.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks Dr. Tayal,
I have not ever had this before and was concerned. I do think it is the result of what I explained. Will try baby oil.
Thanks a lot, you have really eased my mine.
