Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

One of the most common (and easily cured) causes of nipple pain is wearing tight or ill-fitting undergarments and clothing.

Nipple pain can also be caused by certain skin conditions, such as eczema or dermatitis. These conditions can result in itchy, flaky skin that may be painful if left untreated. Fibromyalgia, a disorder that causes muscles and tissues to become tender or sore, can also result in nipple pain.

Regards,
Maryann
