Nipples

Unread post by CuteKitten »

Hi Scarleteen I know you’re not medical professionals but want your advice.

For for the last 2 weeks I had a stinking cold which I am finally getting over yay!!

Anyway I haven’t exercised in 2 weeks because of the cold and just felt drained of energy but have gone on a few nice walks the last few days!

Anyway I woke up today and noticed my nipples looked weired. In my earlier teen years I had inverted nipples but when I turned 17 I worked out more did stuff like bench press and my nipples became outward which really like as it felt like I was growing up!

However when I woke up today and ate a bit worried my nipples were inverted again :-( the areolas seem a bit more pronounced and a slightly different colour to the rest of the nipple. There are also a few white dots on my nipple which I have only noticed today though again I don’t really check my nipples. I showed my Mum and Dad and they said it’s fine and that nipples are weried anyway. I guess I am a bit worried as a female relative has breast cancer they caught it early but still scary:-(

Any advice appreciated can the appearance change because of like hormones or having a cold?

I also have a question about periods but I will save it for later.

Thanks again!

Slight color changes or slight changes in sensitivity and such can happen because of hormonal changes and being sick. More major changes like the shape changing might be better to get checked. I'm not sure about inverted nipples, and we've left a note to our team so if someone else knows, they'll chime in. While it doesn't sound concerning to me, you could still see a medical professional if you're worried.

Feel free to ask the question about periods as well!
