Since this is affecting both breasts, and it's gone on for 3 years, and considering your age - this wouldn't be a typical breast cancer symptom. I'm not medically trained, simply a breast cancer survivor; but it sounds like you may have some long-standing issue with the oil glands on your areola, the area around each nipple. Since it doesn't seem to be getting worse, I'd simply mention it next time you see your doctor about anything; s/he can make the determination whether it's an issue that needs pursuing. Good luck - PJH
