Patient's question:
I am a 12-year-old boy, and I have too much body fat. As a result, one nipple is normal, while the other is inverted. The flesh on my fingers is too much to pull out, and it hurts when others try to pull it for me. If there is anyone with experience or expertise, please tell me how to pull out the nipple and make it normal.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Nipple retraction can be divided into three categories: First, partial nipple retraction, where the retracted part exists at the neck of the nipple and can be easily pushed out. After being pushed out, the nipple size is similar to that of a normal person. Second, the nipple is completely retracted into the areola, but it can be pushed out by hand. The nipple is smaller than normal and mostly lacks a nipple neck. Third, the nipple is completely buried below the areola and cannot be pushed out.Recommendations: First, manual traction. Adolescence is a crucial period for breast development and an important time for correcting nipple retraction. Regularly pulling the nipple can make the breasts more prominent, increase the support of the surrounding skin, and achieve a "shaping" effect. Do this several times a day. Over time, the nipple will naturally gradually protrude outward. If it cannot be pulled out, you can first push the skin near the nipple outward.
