Burning nipples from cardio

[Garbanzo Dude]

Something weird is going on??? recently when I do cardio the sweat starts to burn and sting my nips? It's burned so bad I have put band aids over my nips to stop anymore sweat from hitting them.

What's in the sweat??

[B.E.N.]

Seriously?

You chaffed your nips...happens. When I used to log 50+ miles a week it would happen. Invest in some good under armor shirts that wick moisture away from your skin.

Salt...that what's in sweat.

Never heard of this but the first thing that came to mind was that you're just wearing a loose t-shirt, and it's rubbing your nips making them too sensitive. If this is the case, put a tight fitting tank top on underneath. Just an idea.

or he shaved his chest and nicked his nipples maybe..

side note, i once ran ran a 7 mile race thing, and the tag i had the saftey pins over my nipps and it rubbed them raw, i was like 16 at the time, OMG worse pain of my life!! they even bled

Tight top, band aids or vaseline is an old runners trick!

It sounds like they are just chapped. Get some cerave cream and put it on twicw a day. This is good stuff.

Hahahah, I just laughed my ass off at this thread. But I actually know exactly what you're talking about, it starts to feel like you're going to lactate harder than a nursing mother.

Yeah i know what you mean as well, frickin weird. Happens sometimes, but not always. really confuses the shit out of me cuz i do the same cardio routine every week but the nips burn only once and a while.

This happens to sometimes as well due to friction of the shirt. I started wearing a tight under armor top underneath my shirt and the problem is gone.

All I do know is it SUCKS and hurts like hell!

Using polysporin and a thight undershirt seems to be helping....

That was my concern at first....it was so random....tought it was something I ate.....or the supps??

But the tight shirt and polysporin are helping

I imagine what you've got going is no different than what happens to your nips when surfing...so I would bet a surfing rash guard would probably work as well

They are just chaffed. Happens to me all the time playing basketball when I just wear cotton shirts. The shirt stays wet for a couple of hrs and every time I bump into someone it rubs the nips. Get pretty raw sometime, but they usually heal pretty quick.
