A member asked:
24 weeks pregnant. just noticed one of the cracks of a right nipple is black. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be very normal : Pregnancy has multiple Breast affects. Darkening of nipples and areolas (the skin around your nipples), due to hormones that affect pigmentation of the skin may occur. This is very normal. Bloody nipple discharge or feeling a Breast mass is not normal. Extreme dry skin around the nipple should be investigated due to rate Breast diseases that may occur. Otherwise, should be ok.
