It can happen due poor latch mainly or poor positioning, use of a feeding bottle, breast engorgement, semi-protruding nipples, use of breast pumps or may be due to yeast infection. First read about the proper breast feeding techniques and apply them. Also continue breastfeeding, it will help to heal quickly. Also you can use moisturizer ointments or apply some of your milk only.
