Why My Nipples Are Inflamed And Sore?
Quick question.. I am a 19 year old male and I'm healthy. Both of my nipples are inflamed and sore. I was just wondering what this could be. I know it's probably nothing serious. Oh and no one in my family has had cancer of any sort so I know it's not that.

Hi,
It seems that this problem might be due to some allergy to synthetic bra or ill fitted bra or friction of bra with nipples producing some irritation, soreness and some infection on the part.
There might be having possibility of having yeast infection or some local skin condition like dermatitis.
Clean local part and apply antibiotic cream for 2-3 days.
Wear cotton and well fitted bra.
Ok and take care.
