What Is The Treatment For Sore Nipples In The Child?
My daughter has been getting soar nipples after swimming in a pool? She is only 7 and this started to happen at the end of last summer and so far this whole summer. We have tried swimming with no top on or just a t-shirt but still they become red and soar to the touch and even scabbed over once a few weeks ago. I am at a loss at what is going on.

hi...she seems to be having an allergy to the contents of water in that particular pool or an eczema which is flaring up on chemically treated water contact. I suggest you consult your dermatologist and she will probably need a mild steroid topical cream. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
