A member asked:
My toddler has a red and inflamed nipple. what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bite/infection: Inflammation suggests either a recent bug bite at the site or an infection. The nipple has pores through which skin germs can enter & trigger an abscess. In a girl it could trigger the breast not to develop. In a male there is less long term risk but it can need prescription meds.
