What Are The Reasons For Inflamed And Sore Nipples?
Hi, I m a 19 year old female. my nipples have been very sore for the past couple days. as in the fabric of my shirt touching my skin really hurts. I woke up in the middle of the night last night because the pain in my left nipple woke me up. it s inflamed and very painful and feels like it s burning. I have no idea what may have caused it.
