I have a small black scab on left nipple with no pain or noticeable discharge. i am 66 and have always had inverted nipples. is this cause for concern?

In the presence of: Nomral mammograms, low probability that this a malignancy. It will likely resolve, if concerned or it is becoming worse have a low threshold to get examined. You dont want someone over the internet giving you the all clear, obviously, good luck.
