What Causes Hardness And Soreness In The Nipple?
My son who just turned three I noticed last night had a swollen yellow nipple. not cracked or pussing. just hard and sore. He has had some exema though not extensive these last few months and a stubborn cold. I ve been looking online for answers but find none. If you do have any theories I would really appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Such swelling of nipple occurs usually around the onset of puberty due to some hormonal changes.
If the swelling is not painful without visible signs of infection then nothing to worry. It will probably resolve in 1 or 2 months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
