12 year old with inverted nipple? breast cancer or normal?

Normal: Inverted nipples are not uncommon, even once through puberty! Just ask any lactation consultant! If you feel lumps, see discharge, or see other abnormalities, bring them to the attention of your pediatrician.

Likely normal : Most changes, such as this, in a 12 yo would be developmental, and will likely resolve w time.
