Nipples are sensitive, and they can hurt for lots of reasons. Tight clothes, rashes, and infections can all irritate the tender skin. For women, sore nipples are common during periods, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Any pain in your nipples can make you wonder if you have breast cancer. It's rare for it to be the main symptom of the disease, but you should still see your doctor to have nipple pain checked out if it doesn't go away. Here are some of the most common causes of nipple soreness and how to treat them. Poorly Fitting Clothes A loose shirt or bra can rub against your nipples and irritate your skin, especially with repeated motion like long-distance running. Too much friction could make your nipples bleed. Avoid this problem by wearing tops and bras that fit you well. Before you run, cover your nipples with waterproof bandages or nipple guards to protect them. When chafing causes soreness, apply an antibiotic ointment. Then cover the nipple with sterile gauze. Skin Conditions Soreness plus an itchy rash and swelling around your nipple could be signs of skin irritation called dermatitis. Allergies and irritants in your environment cause this common condition. Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, happens because of dry skin, genetics, and problems with the immune system. Contact dermatitis starts when something touches your skin and irritates it, like a chemical in perfume, soap, or jewelry. Treating eczema will ease any soreness it causes. Your doctor might give you: Steroid creams

Creams or lotions that calm your immune system

Light therapy (phototherapy) If your dermatitis is caused by an allergy or irritant, your doctor may suggest antihistamine pills, moisturizer, and a corticosteroid cream for your skin. An oatmeal bath can ease soreness, too. Call your doctor if your symptoms don't get better in a couple of weeks or if they get worse. Also call if you have these signs of an infection in your nipple: Fever

Pus

Severe pain

Redness that doesn’t get better
