Protect them: If you sleep on your stomach that pressure will decrease blood flow and impair healing and perpetuate your symptoms. Is your bra creating pressure or chafing as well? Try a triple antibiotic ointment and loose bandaid over each nipple and no bra for a few days. If these measures don't help then see your gynecologist for help.
