My nipples have been sore for about 1 1/2 weeks now.they are swollen and purple/red.they hurt to touch them especially when hard?

Sore nipples: More history is needed to begin with. Look for things light tight bras, change in skin care products, excessive irritation of the nipples. Otherwise, try tea bag compresses (cool). That will sooth the nipples. If there is any discharge or redness getting worse, see your doc.
