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.

Most likely it has nothing to do with testosterone or estrogen. It happens to me to and I figured out it is from constant rubbing against my shirt. Your psyching yourself out.

I'm 17yo. I'm a trans girl and just started estrogen and I had the same stinging sensation.

Thanks a LOT.. for real, that makes sense.. it also explains why the mole almost on my chest looks like that... stretched out or what ever.

Hi TeenSafe,

You need to have this examined by a doctor, immediately. It might not be anything serious, but only a doctor can tell by looking at it.

Best,

I have looked at my nipple again, and it is looking like it is splitting in half. Like the most middle part of the nipple is cut in half. And I don't know, does that seem like it is just growing?

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  The tingling/burning sensation on the nipple can be due to many things such as a breast infection, dry skin or other serious conditions such as breast cancer.  It's important to talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Also, any new or changes on an existing mole should be seen by a dermatologist. 

Here are some resources for you
