Nipple : Nipple discharge can represent a variety of things. If the cause was infectious you would likely have associated symptoms including erythema(redness), pain, odor, and possibly fever. Milky discharge can be normal and resolve spontaneously or could be due to one of the following: tumors (proctinoma), breast cancer, benign breast masses (fibroadenomas), hormonal changes(mirena (levonorgestrel) does contain a small amout of hormone), even an injury or trauma to the breast can cause this. As you see there are many possibilites, even more than listed here. I recommend a visit with your primary car eprovider or gynecologist for complete exam, and evaluation of this problem. Good luck.

Variable: Areolar and nipple changes are typically more responsive to external stimuli (e.g. cold, heat, etc...). Such changes, in general, are not considered pathological. Nipple discharge like the kind you're describing is probably related to either normal shedding of the duct lining or disruption of it (piercing). If there are any doubts or you notice bloody discharge, see your ob/gyn asap
