If these are changes from normal, then keep your eye on them. The symptoms you describe don't sound breast-cancer related; and with both breasts being involved, cancer is even less likely. Still, any breast change lasting longer than a month should be diagnosed and treated, if necessary, by a doctor. So if your nipples are still exhibiting these changes in several weeks - or if the rate of change increases, then you'd best call for an appointment, OK? Good luck - PJH
