Nipple Problems
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Nipple problems encompass a set of changes that can affect this area of the breast, such as discharge, pain, cracks, retraction, flaking, or alterations in its shape or color. Some are benign and temporary, while others warrant study.
Signs worth watching for: discharge of fluid without breastfeeding, recent inversion of the nipple, persistent redness, or lesions that do not heal.
Common causes: hormonal changes, skin irritation, infections, or processes related to breastfeeding, among others.
Which specialist assesses it? The gynecologist, the general surgeon, the dermatologist, or the endocrinologist can provide guidance depending on the case. In the face of any new change in the nipple, or one that does not improve, it is advisable to schedule a review with a professional.
