Hi,

I can understand your concern for sudden, reoccurring red, sore bumps on nipple.

There are two possibilities of the sore bumps as either simple folliculitis due to infection of the hair near the nipple area or it can be part of simple eczema over the nipple area.

Both of the conditions are totally benign and never turn out to be a serious issue any time in life. You can meet a dermatologist who can guide you for the best of the possibility.

Till that time you can apply a mixed cram containing fucidin with mometasone in it. Apply it in a very thin layer so that it should not be visible to the naked eye.

Take care.
