Nipples look raw/ discolored

Justia

Hey all I’m almost 4 weeks postpartum and I breastfeed my baby boy every 2-3 hours. Sometimes even every hour.

Now my nipple area looks like raw skin and also discolored. My areola is brown now my nipples are light pink.

Did anyone else have nipples appear lighter, raw or discolored. Is this normal cause I’m worried.

By the way I have no pain at all in nipple area. Just a bit sensitive but not painful.
