: Nipples are sensitive and prone to friction. Absence of redness &amp; lump is reassuring. I'd trust the opinion of a breast surgeon.

Please apply twice daily a mild cortisone prescription ointment, not cream, ie.Fluocinolone . Gently rub it in to the nipple and surrounding skin . Should hopefully reduce the nipple discomfort in 7-10 days.
