nipple is torn.. ?
Hey everyone! 14/f and i went to bed last night with a bit of tenderness and soreness in my left boob.. it bugged me all night. I woke up in the morning to have a shower and looked at what was causing the problem. (Sorry if this is weird and graphic) but a small peice of my nipple is sliced open and im not sure what to do.. like a tiny peice but it hurts like a biotch. To stop the problem, i took a bandaid and put it over y nipple to stop the peice from flapping open and shut and causing severe pain.. will this heal naturally? shouls i keep the bandaid over the wound?

You nipple should heal naturally. Keep it clean and keep it covered with a bandaid for a few days to see how it begins to heal.
If you cannot remember doing anything to cause the nipple to be cut and nothing in your bra's may have caused this. Then I suggest you let your doctor look at this. I would suggest you see your GYN. A nipple cracking open is a sign of dryness, like dry skin. I would think this is something your doctor would want to see an care for. Of course given your age you could also talk with mom.
Mom's first question is going to be; "what have you let some boy do to you." Expect it, don't get upset, especially if a boy has not played or sucked on your nipples. This is and will be a mom's natural reaction. As long as you are expecting her to react this way, you can be prepared to answer the question and do so calmly. Once you get past that question mom will calm down and look for the proper cause of the problem including whether you need to see a doctor.

Hey there!
Ouch! I'm cringing at the thought of a torn nipple, I'm so sorry for your pain! Do you recall anything happening to cause that to happen? Anyway, yes, it should heal naturally. You need to be sure to keep it clean. Wash it every day and if you get sweaty, wash it again.
I'm not sure what you should put on it if anything, just because, as long as you're keeping it clean and keeping a bandaid on it to hold it together, you don't necessarily need a medication for it. Maybe some Neosporin or something of the like? I'd probably just put whatever we had laying around for cuts and scrapes on it, or on the bandaid before you apply it if your nipple is too tender to the touch.
Much larger and worse wounds heal naturally, so I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep it clean and with a bandaid to hold it together so it will grow back onto itself. And, be more careful! Wouldn't want that to happen again!
May God heal you quickly!
