I am just a teen and I have just today and yesterday got this terrible stinging pain in my right nipple (it almost feels like pulses). I am about to get my period in 10 days or so and recently started to masturbate (in case that has to do with it ( maybe hormonal imbalance? ) ). I But I stopped a day or two, and my right nipple started to sting. I looked in the mirror that night and I had like a little dried drop of blood to the look of it.. And then I had just a shirt on (no bra) I tried to sleep but the pain keep hurting. I then applied lotion. It was advanced therapy lotion ( I tried using something scentless that wouldn't irritate it more ). It was still hurting but I fell asleep. The next day at 2 of so in the afternoon, the pain came back, and faded away.. It came back again at 5 and is still here.. It is only in my right nipple and the pain is external.. This breast is smaller than my right so it may be a loose fitting bra but I have no money to buy another. The reason that this is terrifying me is because I have a mole/beauty mark on my chest just above my breast and it has changed.. The middle has stayed in a dark brown and the outside looks like it was just stretched.. This happened about 3 months ago.. PLEASE HELP! I am really scared.. Any response will work.. Thanks. Me.

I am 14, and I have the same problem. It only started recently, and at first it was a light, burning feeling on both my nipples, but today, it stopped on my left one but got worse on my left. My left nipple burns so much and whenever it rubs against my bra, it burns to the point that I don't move.

Dont worry I have it now! Your breast are growing or you may just have a cut on your nipple. Your nipples and breast are very soar and sensitive during period time so wear a bra to bed and place a small tissue in front of the nipple and after you take the bra off to bathe, put on some lotion that wont sting your nips, also be careful not to be too rough on your nips while bathing.

This could happen to anyone, even guys. It's most likely because your shirt is rubbing against them and over time causing pain.

Oh god, don't freak out. That stinging/burning/pulsing is from growing breasts. Look up "stinging breasts in teenagers". It means they're growing. As for the "splitting" thing, I know what you mean. Like, the very tip of your nipple looks weird. That's how they're supposed to look. I think Daisy isn't quite grasping what you mean, but I understand. Mine look like that, plus I notice a lot of guys' nipples look like that. I think it's because ours are growing, like you said. Honestly, it is NOTHING and it really bothers me to think that you might be panicking over this. I get it every day, and it really sucks, but there's not much to do but wait it out till puberty is over.

I'm a 16yo guy, and I'm experiencing the same thing. Looking through this is just making me panic more, I'm thinking maybe I have too much estrogen instead of testosterone or something. But It just recently started this month, it burns for the entire day, but seems to be fine when I wake up. Just today I noticed horizontal slits in both nipples, and it feels almost like they are excreting a liquid, but nothing seems to be coming out (thankfully). Pretty sure i just need more testosterone in me, but it's really worrying.
