If it hasn't been that way all of your
life.. you need to get it checked on..
Some women have inverted nipples and that
is ok if you are born that way... If it
just started happening there is something
going on.. the heaviness in the arm I'm
not sure about... How old are you and
have you had a mammogram? If not, you
probably need to see a breast specialist
and have one done.. Have you had any skin
changes, nipple discharge, or feel any
lumps in your breast? Hope all is well.

Ten to twenty percent of all women have
inverted nipples.
But, if you're experiencing this for the
first time and is only one-sided, you
should be worry.
An inverted nipple can be a symptom of
Breast Sheet Cancer ( Inflammatory Breast
Cancer ).
Do you have redness, swelling, and warmth
in the breast?
Does the skin of the breast appears pink,
reddish purple, or bruised?
Is the skin like the skin of an orange?
Do you feel heaviness, burning, aching,
increase in breast size, tenderness?
Can you check for swollen lymph nodes
under your armpit or above the
collarbone?
Inflammatory Breast Cancer is hard to
detect in a mammogram.
Please, ask you doctor for biopsy!
Take care!

I went and had a mammagram & ultra
sound done on my breast today they said
mammagram looked fine not sure about the
ultra sound if nothing is found in either
should I still worry about the inverted
nipple!
