Accidentally stabbed my nipple with a needle. silly, i know. wondering if my nipple will be fine. inside ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably will: But keep the area clean and keep an eye on it. There is a chance the needle puncture could have introduced bacteria deep inside the soft tissue and could lead to an infection. If you start to develop pain, redness, discharge at the site or any fevers or chills, have your doctor evaluate the site/yourself.
