A member asked:
Hello, i am a 16 year old male and i have nipples that are flat, is this caused by something life threatening or cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: These are labeled inverted nipples and have no importance to a male.They can be a challenge for a woman who wants to breastfeed. A subset of the population has this variation in both sexes.
