Is my Inverted Nipple a Sign of Cancer?

KourtSocal
hi i am 21 years old and my right nipple is inverted. i havent always had it and i am not sure how long i have had it maybe a year at the most? i really dont know. as this is sometimes a sign of cancer for women im concerned i just made an appointment to see my doctor but what if not cancer, what would cause this?? im wondering if weight loss anxiety and stress can maybe target this at all? thank in advance-really worried!
