Nipples: Nipples come in all shapes and sizes. Since you are 18 this may just be how your nipples are naturally shaped. Nipple inversion is not typically something we associate with cancer in teenagers. Have your primary care doctor do an exam to verify that this is normal for you.

Probably not: Inverted nipple is frequently seen in normal people.
