how big are their nipples? perhaps it's time for them to start wearing some sort of bra. how much exercise do they regularly get? i'm a guy and i'm in pretty great shape but if i run for a few hours a day every day after taking several weeks off my nipples can get sore from my shirt. i imagine it could be the very same problem for a very young girl depending on how much and what type of exercise they're getting.
both my 5 yo ( lt. side) and 8 yo (bilat) girls have red swollen nipples no visable insect bites or break in skin. both my daughters were co discomfort around breast. my 5 yo girl lt. nipple is red swollen tender my 8 yo girl bilat nipples are red swollen and tender. no break in skin visable. i am puzzled since both my girls have symptoms. no recent change in product. no other rashes on skin anywhere. the only new exposure to anything on skin is swimming in pool. i could think of numerous causes if it was only one of them. but both?
