What Cause Sharp Pain In My Right Nipple?
Hi I'm 18 year old male and within the past 4-5 days I have been experiencing a sharp pain in my right nipple. It's almost feels pulsing and only lasts about 2-3 minutes and happens about 5 times a day. It feels more sensitive and tender than my left.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Here nipple and breast physical examination needs to be done as per history along with palpation...
There might be mastitis like breast inflammation or infection or superficial bacterial skin infection...
If no specific cause found than it could be muscular pain
For inflammation relief ibuprofen might prescribed for five days
If during examination any mass palpable than FNAC like investigation done for that...
Take care
Consult physician for examination
