My nipples stick in, not out. Is this normal?
"It’s called an inverted nipple, and it occurs in 2 percent of girls," says Dr. Kathleen Kaufman of Santa Monica, Calif. They can pop out as your breasts continue to grow. "The breasts are fully developed about four years after you start having menstrual periods," says Dr. Kaufman.
There’s no medical reason to be concerned about inverted nipples, but it can restrict you from future breastfeeding. Surgery is an option if they remain inverted, but Dr. Kaufman suggests discussing concerns with your doc.
