Written summary
A clear medical summary of the key information covered in this video
A nipple that has always been inverted—particularly on both sides—may be a normal variation. Retraction can also follow inflammation, duct changes, previous surgery or scarring.
A newly pulled-in nipple, especially on one side, should be examined promptly if accompanied by a lump, bloody discharge, skin dimpling, ulceration, redness or persistent pain. Assessment may include examination and age-appropriate imaging.
