A member asked:

Is gray nipple discharge common and also is normal or should i see a doctor?also, i have inverted nipples as well.18 year old female

See your doctor: Gray nipple discharge should be evaluated. Your doctor can determine if this is normal, due to pregnancy or another process. Inverted nipples are common, breastfeeding is still possible.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
