A member asked:

I noticed what felt like an ingrown hair or irritated follicle on my nipple. i just noticed a red line stemming from the pain and hooking around?

Possible infection,,: If you have pain there and a feeling of irritation, you might have an infection at your nipple, It would be a good idea to see your doctor to have it examined and get some Antibiotic treatment if it is an infection. Best of luck.
