A member asked:

My nipples/areoles feel like they are on fire whenever i get cold. not pregnant and no discharge. it's been doing this for a few months now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is common: This is a very common issue, related to smooth muscle contraction in the the nipples that is usually induced by cold, or any other trauma to this part of your breasts. Warming the area gently may help to resolve the issue quicker!
