One of the most common causes of nipple pain in men is friction caused by clothing while running or exercising. All the chafing and breakdown of skin can cause sensitivity in the nipples. Both Lycra and cotton can lead to chafing. Spandex can be a better option for stretching and yoga. You can also wear extremely lose T-shirts to reduce the chances of nipple chafing. Here’s how to keep your nipples clean.

New clothing or fabric allergy

Your nipples can also be especially sensitive to newly purchased clothing. Cotton fabrics that are chemically treated or are coarse in nature can lead to greater nipples sensitivity. It can manifest as allergy or contact dermatitis on your nipples. You are more likely to have sensitive nipples if you had a history of eczema. In extreme cases, you might also notice burning and swelling. If you experience any of these symptoms, avoid wearing the clothing and apply a cold compress on the area. Also do not wear wool directly on your skin as it can lead to a build-up of sweat and moisture that can irritate your skin. Here are 5 things your nipples say about your health.

Nipple infection caused due to shaving

Any injury caused while using a razor to remove nipple hair can lead to significant bleeding and pain as the area has a lot of blood vessels. If you notice swelling and tenderness in your nipples after shaving, it is best that you show a doctor as soon as possible. You will need antibiotics to treat the skin infection on your nipples.
