Asked By:jackkb91 in Watford City, ND

Hello, this may sound like a bit of a silly question, so apologies, but after showering I notices that one of my nipples was a slightly different shape to my other one. The actual nipple itself is oval and the other one the same but slightly different looking. You can notice once looking very closely though so is only slightly, I am.just wondering is this normal, and normal.for men to have slightly different shape to the other one? Otherwise everything else is completely normal. I am a 24 year old male
