Answer

Hi Nina - If your nipple seems to be turning inward, best to see a doctor, as this can be a sign of breast cancer. If the areola is changing shape, keep your eye on it; if it seems tobe continuing, or still seems “odd” after 1 month, then see a doctor, OK? This would qualify as a breast change, something that should be looked into. Good luck - PJH
