What Causes Soreness And Inflammation On Nipples Of A Child?
..my five year old daughter is complaining of sore nipples. The left one is a little red. Both of her nipples feel like a hard tiny seed. I do not think it is our detergent. We use the same kind for the past two years. Any ideas? Surely, this isn t puberty related.

It's likely to be because of friction due to the tight dress? are they swollen or not? is it painful? This is s common problem even in boys and it will go by itself as at this age pubertal changes do not occur unless it's precocious. Avoid tight synthetic dresses and if still persists and the swelling is more than 1.5 inches, then you can visit a doctor for it.
