Hi, I'm 13 years old and I haven't had my period yet but for some reason my nipples are burning it feels like carpet burn. Only the nipple hurts not the breast. I need help what do I do? What's wrong? Any pain relief tips?

Hello, Anon.
Hormonal fluctuations associated with the menstrual cycle can cause breast tenderness and a burning sensation. A tight-fitting bra or an allergic reaction to a different soap or lotion can cause this to happen also. Ask your mother what mild pain reliever you can take if it's really bothering you.

Hello,
Consider seeing you're your gynecologist. It might be hormonal and nothing to worry, about but it's best to be sure.

Hello, I’m 20, 21 in April and for the last 2 weeks I’ve been getting pains in my nipples. Not he boobs at all just nipples. It feels like carpet burn and sometimes they sting, if I touch them to see what’s wrong they hurt? I’m on the pill and the pregnancy test says negative. I really don’t know what to do, please help.

Hello.
Hormonal fluctuations in regards to the menstrual cycle and/or the pill can cause breast tenderness and a burning sensation. Irritation from a bra that's to tight or an allergic reaction to something can cause these symptoms as well. Since you are concerned, it's best to see your doctor to ease your mind.

Hi there... I have a couple questions... my last "normal" period" was March 16-20th. My boyfriend and I are sexually active but have never actually had Intercourse to the extent of him having an orgasm.. we have planned to wait until marriage but sometimes we come close. This Month I received my period April 4th-7th. My cycles are usually not exactly 1 month apart, usually early if anything. But that seemed very early for me. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests within the past 2 weeks and one today on the 18th and they've all said not pregnant. Although my nipples feel as if they're itchy and sensitive. As if I were about to start my period... is it possible I'm still pregnant or I am about to have another period? Sorry for the long post. I'm just stressed out because of all of this! Thank you... -Kb

Hello Kb,
I do not know.
If you had a period this month, then you are not pregnant.
Consider speaking with your gynecologist.

So I've never done this before , and I hope my message gets threw.
January 22, 2017 - 6:14amI'm 23, sexually active with my 11month relationship and got off my period two weeks ago and I don't believe I should be starting it... anyways these last couple of days I've had this insane burning on my nipple ... my breasts have also seemed to feel and look swollen on the sides .. the burning is only on the nipple but my entire Ariola and my breast seem to feel a slight of pain as well ... it almost feel like my nipples are being pinched.. and sometimes the pain happens simultaneously with both nipples or one or the other.. I've tried ice this morning but that made it worst .. laying on my tummy works...
Any suggestions?
