HEALTH

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.
