Wear soft cotton clothes, take care of your hygiene, take bath daily. Do not touch or scratch the affected area around your nipples. Bumps associated with redness or rash can indicate yeast infection or, in rare cases, breast cancer. If it is due to yeast infection. A course of oral antifungals can help.
