I've got a bit of a problem and could use some advice. My boyfriend was really rough with pinching and pulling my right nipple, and now they're super sore. It hurts a lot when I touch them or even when my bra rubs against them. They're also kind of dark reddish-brown and bruised, plus there's this crusty brown stuff on them that seems like it could peel off. It's been 24 hours, and they still hurt a lot. I can't go to the doctor, so I'm really worried. What should I do?

It sounds like your nipples are bruised and irritated from the rough handling. To ease the pain, avoid touching or rubbing the area and wear a soft, breathable bra. Applying a soothing cream like aloe vera or a gentle moisturizer may help, but if the pain persists or worsens, consider seeing a healthcare professional when possible.
