I've had my nipples piercing for over 5 years now and about a year ago i started noticing a hole in the middle of my nipple where you can see the barbell. Some sebaceous fluid kept coming out of it so i just thought it was normal and proceeded to clean if often.

Im worried about breast feeding in the future.
