Neuralgia: We don't know exactly why, but sometimes a little nerve, often near the skin surface, "goes on the fritz" (entirely my term!). It could be the result of superficial trauma, or even the body's immunologic reaction to an otherwise unappreciated infection, etc. The nipple and areolar area is high innervated (has lots of nerves). It will in all likelihood resolve on it's own in a few days. Good luck!

Muscle twitch: Muscle twitching is called Fasciculations . Fasciculations are the result of minor local muscle contractions or the uncontrollable twitching of a single muscle group served by a single motor nerve. Fasciculations are usually benign and they are often triggered by over-use,fatigue and depletion of electrolytes. Some times a deficir=ency of certain Vit ie B vits,calcium, magnesium
