What is the reason for the areola sinking to the right and the nipple also being slightly concave?

Patient's question:

The other day, I noticed that when I raise my arm, the right areola sinks out, and the nipple also becomes slightly concave. When I lower my arm, the areola returns to its original shape. Please help me see a doctor. I feel so depressed. My right nipple was naturally slightly concave from birth, but later it became flat while breastfeeding a child. I don't know if this could be the reason.

Doctor's answer:

After reading your reply and photos, it's not very clear based solely on appearance. Is there any discharge from the right nipple? Has the appearance changed? I suggest you don't put too much pressure on yourself first. You can go to the hospital for an ultrasound first, and then make a further diagnosis based on the detailed examination results.
This is the advice for the question "Yesterday, I noticed my arm going up, and the right areola was protruding, with the nipple also moving a bit." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
