Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 6 year old son has an interverted nipple and he woke up this morning saying it hurt it seems that it is infected I can not see any scratch or bug bite around it the breast it self is infected what could this be how could a boy get what seems to be a breast infection
Breast infection is very unlikely in this age, more so in boys. If there was no any scratch / wound over there, the area is not red or hot to touch, and there is no any swelling or discharge, this need not be considered as infection. Just give him paracetamol for pain if needed. Avoid frequent manipulation. If not getting better in 2 days, we can evaluate further.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
