A member asked:

What does it mean when your nipples itch and hurt and what can i do to stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rash: Means you should definitely be examined by a doctor since this could be an infection or simply an allergic or irritant dermatitis. I would not do or take anything until you see a doctor who can examine you.
