Q: right nipple sensitive and gets harder then left. for their past 4 months no skin rash. had mammogram was normal and physical exam was normal no lumps or issues. what could cause this all of a sudden?

: The sudden onset is characteristic of a blocked duct in that breast. These often resolve on their own. If there's a painful tender lump and spreading redness it should be examined by your physician, gynecologist or a breast surgeon.
