I Am 58 Years Old And Suddenly Have Sore Nipples..why?

Interesting that your only answers so far are from men...aside from that, assuming that you are a woman, in which case you are hopefully already well aware of the difference between dry skin, pulled muscles and sore nipples, I would say it's probably a hormone thing, but go to your doctor and have it checked. That way you can rest easy in your mind and also get some slightly less whacky suggestions for treatment than just taking painkillers! After all, if it actually WAS cancer, the sooner you had it checked out the better, no point wasting time and letting it get worse.

Hi,  Assuming you are female and know what sore nipples feel like from hormonal fluctuations etc... I would see your GYN soon.  If you have any type discharge from your nipples, you should see the GYN ASAP.

It is not necessarily means that you have cancer. You can some OTC pain relief medications and see if it helps. You can also try some warm compresses and breast massage, it can be a muscle pull or muscle sprain. If you still find any problem, then you should consult with the doctor.

Sounds like dry skin.There could be another reason.You should talk to your doctor.
