How can one clean inverted nipples without irritation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mild soap: You can gently evert the nipple (pressure to cause it to come out) and use a mild soap and a cotton swap. If you are unable to evert the nipple, then a breast specialist should evaluate to make sure there are no other abnormalities.
