A member asked:

Is it normal to find the earwax inside your inverted nipples?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The breast, even when not lactating, has active ducts and glands. The normal discharge from the breast may accumulate if the nipples are inverted. If the discharge seems excessive or bloody, you might consider having a clinical exam done.
