A member asked:
What are these black dots on my nipples? they're in the milk ducts. i squeezed some out and they looked like dried blood, but i'm not sure.

See a doctor: May be a benign condition of fibrocystic breast cyst draining from the nipple. But needs an examination with a doctor. If there is bloody discharge from the nipple, then that must be evaluated further with your doctor.
