Q: hi, I am 23 year old and I have dry white mass/discharge coming out from my left inverted nipple. I don't feel anything there but I am so worried about cancer. please replay! thanks
Hi - Why waste time being stressed and worried, when a simple call to the doctor to set up an appointment will quickly resolve this situation? If your nipple has inverted recently (i.e., it's not normal for you), then you need to report this to yoru doctor; it qualifies as a breast change, and ALL breast changes that last longer than a few weeks need to be seen by an MD. That said, with discharge as well, I wouldn't wait for a few weeks; you might have an infection starting, and the sooner you get going on antibiotics, the better. So, make the call ASAP, OK? Good luck - PJH
