A member asked:

Male nipple was sore to touch. soreness went away and i squeezed it and bloody yellowish puss came out. its not sore anymore but the puss is there?

Infection: What your described is consistent with a bacterial infection of the tissue under the nipple. It may resolve on its own, however, if the discharge persists more than a week, it would be prudent to see your doctor.
