Hello. I’m new to the site and have to first of all say I already feel better for having found it! On Saturday I noticed that my right nipple was inverted, it has never done this before. Since then it has either been inverted or flat, not like it usually is so this is definitely a change. I did the sensible thing and saw my GP first thing on Monday morning. He referred me to the breast clinic and I got an appointment in yesterday for Monday coming. Cannot believe how quick but at the same time this has been the longest few days ever! I’m really wanting to hear from anyone who has had inverted nipples but no lumps (although the GP said my right breast was grittier than my left?). I feel like if there was a lump there would be more chance of it being a cyst or something else but when I google ‘sudden inverted nipple’ there doesn’t seem to be much else it can be. Also when I think on it now my nipple has been itchy occasionally but I put this down to the bra I was wearing and never gave it much thought. I also have thought my breast looked a bit different on the odd occasion, like more straight edged than curved if that makes since? But on lifting it and looking closer thought I was imagining it. Both the things never worried me at the time at all but as soon as I say my nipple inverted I freaked out. It’s just now thinking back over past few months little things are piecing together. Any thoughts???

hi doodles i like you noticed that my nipple became inverted and the skin around had started to pucker but i could feel a thicker area around my nipple that was bigger than my other. they say if when you touch your nipple and you can bring it back out that is a good sign, mine didnt.i was dx in jan with lobular grade 3 i had an mx on the 3rd feb.its a very frightening time and i think ive felt every emotion there is but you will cope if it does turn out to be bc but hold off on thinking too much if you can. im awaiting ct results and have an appointment with my onc on the 28th. if you need to talk pm me and i,ll help with any questions you may have. lots of hugs jane xxx
Hi Doodles
I have similar symptoms on my left breast, nipple change, itchyness also a slight swelling under my arm. I am awaiting news of a core biopsy. The whole of March has been taken up with Gp, Consultant to visits to Breast Clinic: my whole thought process is taken up.
I hope everything goes well for you and you are right this site is wonderfull. The very fact you can express your feelings of anxiety and 9/10 someone else is/has experienced similar emotions.
Good luck for next week.

Thank you for replying. I’m going through alternate feelings of being optimistic, then fearing the worse. I just want to know either way what is going on! Shouldn’t really complain as i saw my GP at 9.10am on Monday and my appointment is before 9am on Monday coming, so technically less than a week!
Take care xx
I have a sometimes inverted nipple waiting on appointment for breast clinic. I am 52 and going through the menopause hoping it is something to do with that. I have no other symptoms any advice.
I’ve recently noticed that my left nipple has started to invert. I went to see my GP on Friday now awaiting to get an appointment. I feel very confused as I have no other symptoms. I am new too third site and saw someone with the same thing
I am also new here. I’ve had an inverted nipple for quite some time but didn’t think it would have to do with cancer. I can feel a pea size lump in behind. I can’t seem to focus on anything but worrying about this now, after doing a lot of reading on possible causes.
hi I have recently found inverted nipple on my left. appear no other lumps. have appointment breast clinic this wed . crapping my self. but after reading all your posts I don’t feel alone.
but I not sure right now , but if bad I almost think I would be stronger doing this by
my self , rather than trying to share with husband and kids ?
Hi yesterday I noticed my left nipple was inverted it came out on its own and I hoped it was a one off. This morning was again inverted and as I check throughout the day it is inverted but comes out. I now have the strangest very slight sensation slight soreness but only slight. I will call docs in morning … Just don’t know what to think really …
Best get it checked Vick .Probably nothing to worry about but better to get a doctors opinion ,it will only worry you if you don’t get looked at .Jill.
Hi, I’m 21 years old and my left nippe has inverted, alongside this I have a rash under my left arm, it’s very itchy. I went to the gp this morning and she has referred me to the breast cancer clinic, I am now awaiting an appointment. I have a long history of breast cancer in my family. Is this something I should be worrying about?
Hi
After having cancer treatment on my right breast, I’ve noticed that I’ve been waking up with an inverted nipple on my left breast. This has always inverted sometimes but not every morning. Panicking now?
Hi, I too have inverted left nipple. Happened august 2016. Went to docs at once and was referred to clinic immediately, less than one week. Had Mammo and ultrasound and found no lumps. Was told this was common in older women. I am 67. Since then my nipple has had slight infection and also itches from time to time. I can manipulate it out but it goes back in again . Thought better go to docs again!.
Hi Amy ,I would go back and ask for second opinion .it is probably nothing to be concerned about but there is a type of breast cancer that affects the nipple(Padgets disease ) and as it is quite rare it is not always diagnosed straight away.I hope you get some reassurance soon.Let us know how you get on.Jill.
R u having similar issues Cazzy ?
May be worth going back if it’s still happening.
Have you had investigations Kate ?
You read my mind Helena !!
