I have a 10-month-old baby and have had a mastopexy and breast implants. I did not breastfeed and still have feeling in my breasts and nipples. Recently, I've been experiencing sharp, painful nipples, especially in my right breast, that turn white when I get cold, and the pain persists until I warm up. This has happened before during my teenage years and one of my pregnancies. Now, my right breast is burning and throbbing uncomfortably for two days. I can't feel a lump, and there is no visible redness or swelling. Can you advise?
