sore nipples
Painful breast tips
Sore nipples are nipples that are tender, painful, or irritated.
The condition is common among breastfeeding mothers, especially in the early weeks, often caused by improper latch or frequent nursing.
Runners and cyclists also experience sore nipples from friction against clothing: I wore bandages to prevent sore nipples during the marathon.
