Hi,
One of the most common (and easily cured) causes of nipple pain is wearing tight or ill-fitting undergarments and clothing.
But nipple pain is also a problem for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
In addition, sore nipples can be caused by infection, certain kinds of breast cancer and other conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
