A member asked:

What could cause stinging nipples (at random times a day) besides pregnancy? i didn't have sex!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry skin likely: If no other symptoms of other parts of the breast, try and moisturizer if that helps. If not or any bleeding or cracking despite the hydration, see your doc.
