my nipples had dry skin on the end and i removed it with warm water, but the next day it was back again but not as hard and when i removed it, it came from the inside on my nipple. i think it was discharge but it hardens up. is this something to worry about???
hello there
there are plenty of reasons for this, but you might find it reassuring to have a chat with you GP or practise nurse. its 10 mins of their time and what their role is, and there’s no reason why you should continue with a worry on your mind. best of luck, take care of yourself and let us know how you go on

Breasts are so delicate that we should take great care of them. There are many things that change our breasts and nipples–hormones, infections, disease and of course the one we all fear most cancer.
I would say get yourself along to the GP as soon as you can. Tell the receptionist you think you have a discharge from your nipples and she will probably book you in quickly.
You will probably come away kicking yourself for worrying over nothing, or might get some tablets or cream. or if the doctor is super cautious a referal to a clinic just to check it out.
But even then dont panic, 9 out of 10 people that get refered to the clinic do not have cancer.
Whatever is the cause of this change though----CHECK IT OUT, evan non cancerous things could need treatment to stop them getting worse.
