See a doctor: A change in the appearance of the nipple or skin of the breast should prompt a doctor visit. Your doctor will perform an examination and guide an evaluation.

My nipples get really wrinkly and the skin around it gets hard and wrinkled , also starts sinking in when I lay down. Is this normal. I have lumps?

When I press my right nipple for SBE its soft, easy to press inward, almost like its hollow beneath. I can even feel the outline of the tissue around the areola, but on left its very dense and doesn't give. Is this normal? I have implants, no lumps.
