What Causes Red And Sore Nipples?
My 8 year old daughter was complaining yesterday that her nipples were sore (she is not developing yet) She had been swimming a lot, however, the chlorine level in the pool was almost non-existent. This morning her nipples look very red. What do you think the cause could be?

Hi...by what you quote I feel that she might developing a sort of allergy or skin irritation in the region. If it is not painful and she's not having fever, you need not worry about it. But if she's develops fever or if the soreness is spreading or forming small lumps under the nipples, you need to consult a pediatrician regarding this.
