Patient's question:
I am 18 years old, and my breast development is small. Additionally, I have inverted nipples. Over time, some white foreign substances may grow on the nipples. After wiping, it sometimes itches. What should I do:Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, generally speaking, when the nipple is deeply retracted into the areola, it not only appears unattractive but also can accumulate dirt or oil due to the, causing itching, eczema, or inflammation.Recommendations:
Manual (traction): Gently pull the nipple outwards from the skin surface using the thumb and index finger, either horizontally or vertically. Apply continuous or intermittent traction to the nipple for about 30 minutes each time, alternating between both nipples. Repeat 3-5 times daily.
Instrumental (traction): Use a manual or electric breast pump to apply negative pressure and pull the nipple out. Similarly, apply continuous or intermittent suction for 30 minutes each time, alternating between both nipples. Repeat 3-5 times daily.
Both of these correction methods can yield good results after about two months.
