I noticed i've been growing some sort of "scabs" on my left nipple. i peeled it off, and it was the texture of a blackhead. they grow back eventually!

I would recommend: not peeling them off. You're at risk of causing infection by doing that. Please see your doctor or a dermatologist to be properly diagnosed.
