My nipples are burning!

Check these out, too...

One morning, I woke up and my nipple started burning and swelling. I checked on them and they were blood red. They stopped burning and the color is normal, but they are still huge! Is there anything I can do to make them go back to normal?

Usually when something like this happens, it’s a result of some sort of change to your cleansing routine or what you wear. If you donned a new T-shirt before hitting the sack, your nipples might be a little irritated by the rough cotton. If you’re using a new body wash or if Mom switched laundry detergent brands, the chemicals in the product might be causing your sensitive skin to react.

Don’t worry—your body will recover, heal and be back to normal in no time. Rub some rich, fragrance-free lotion of your boobs and toss on a soft bra and tee. You’ll be fine!

If the burning and swelling continues for longer than a day—and you have changed into old clothes you’re body did not react to before and you’ve cut out any new body products—you might want to call your doc.

MOD! MOD! MOD!
Okay so I'm 11. (well almost) And um....... so whenever I hit something my boob starts to hurts and it feels like something hard is inside it. Also one is growing a little faster than the other. Is that normal?

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

MOD!
My mom and I have never talked about growing up stuff like periods, boys, makeup, etc. I don't know why she hasn't had the talk with me yet or told me anything about it. I do know some stuff from my friends and health class, but I don't have info on my specific bod. I really want to start talking to her about this stuff but I don't want it to be akward at all! Help me!

Hey babe,

Try bringing up the topic during a quiet moment when neither of you are stressed or busy. Believe it or not, it feels awkward at first for ANY girl to chat with her mom about this stuff - no matter how close they are. So you might feel uncomfy, but it's totally normal. The important thing is that you tell your mom you want her to be part of your "growing up" years, you want to be open about stuff, and you want to ask her questions so you get info from a trustworthy source. She'll appreciate the fact that you came to her! So take a deep breath and take the plunge - it'll get easier as soon as you take that first step

MODMODMODMOD um hi i have a question, can a nipple be hurt so bad that its just gone? cuz i think that happened to me so i was at a park with my sister and she did not know i have breast's yet and she knocked in to me REALLY hard and my nipple hurt for days and
now when i feel it there is nothing there but the other on is fine could she have broken it?

Hi Chica,

I've never heard about a nipple disappearing! It might have been swollen right after the accident at the park and now feels like it's gone compared to how puffy it was before... It's definitely not "broken!" If you're really worried, have your mom or a doc take a look at it.
