What Causes Pain In Nipples?
Question: For about a month, I have had a very sensitive right breast nipple. It is sensitive to the touch.
It is now giving me pain upon touch.. It seems to be a bit larger than my left nipple. It's color is the same as the left nipple. Can you advise me as to what this might be ? I am waiting for an
appointment from my primary. Is this serious. such as a breast tumor or lung problem? I'm concerned and would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Breast tumor

Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
Nipple can be irritated easily by using bra, some local inflammation or hormonal.
Hydrocortisone cream applied twice a day in the nipple can improve your symptoms.
A breast tumor is a palpable mass, hard, stuck to the skin, motionless.
