Discharge from nipple
There are many characteristics of nipple discharge. This can occur from one or both nipples. The discharge can be a variety of colors including, white, green, brown, clear, black, red. Disharge can be coming from duct/hole of the nipple or multiductal. Typically, most nipple discharges are benign. A bloody, nipple discharge can be worrisome as a sign of cancer.
