A member asked:
Im 18 and have one inverted nipple that itches, can it be breast cancer!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the nipple has: Always been inverted - that is likely your anatomy. Breast cancer risk is quite low at age 18. However, if these are new changes - have them medically assessed.
