A member asked:
My nipple has a protruding areola?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get a check: A protruding area could be a growth under the areola. At your age this could be cause for concern thus i suggest that you see your doctor for a clinical breast exam to make sure it's not a growth. Good luck!
