What causes painful and swollen nipple in a child?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my 9 year old daughter s nipples are swollen and she says they hurt her. I noticed them about 2 days ago, but thought it was normal. I did not know they were hurting her. what could this be? Doctor: hi! this could be a normal part of puberty since breast development is one of the first signs of puberty. although if you notice any redness around the nipple this could be an infection for which you should see a doctor.
