A member asked:

Is it normal if i have a hickie on my nipple& to have a bad pain on it and it bleeds.my bf bites my nipple it hurts but it feels good. should i stop ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, it is not normal: Human bites carry with them a large risk of infection from a host of different bacteria. This can lead to a localized skin infection and possibly an abscess. Anytime a human bite breaks the skin, there is concern for infection.
