Jogger's Nipple: Causes, Prevention, and Treatment Explained

Jogger's nipple is like a running boo-boo.

It happens when your nipples rub against your shirt while you run, especially during long runs.

This rubbing causes the skin to get sore, red, and sometimes even bleed.

Some people get it more easily than others, depending on their clothes, how much they sweat, and the weather.

To prevent it, you can use things like petroleum jelly or special bandages to protect your nipples, wear shirts that wick away sweat, and make sure your clothes fit well.

This will help keep your skin happy while you run.
