Nipple Problem

Question: One of my nipple itches sometimes for couple weeks and

now hurts a little bit when it rubs on the clothes.

What could be wrong?

Answer: Nipples become sensitive at certain times. Usually relating to your period. However, occasionally men have sensitive nipples also. If this is redness or continued pain it may indicate a low grade mastitis (breast inflammation). Heat will usually cure this problem.
