A member asked:

5ms ago i had an i&d caused by mastitis. then recently i noticed that the infected breast, the middle part of nipple became inverted. is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Inverted nipples are abnormal they can be due to infection scar tissue or benign tumor's. Rarely at your age they could be a breast cancer. You need to see a primary care doctor in person for specific diagnosis and treatment
