Inverted Nipple - Is this something I need to worry about?

November 16, 2012
Asked By:Ksh03

I noticed after I stopped breast feeding my son at 18 months, he's now almost 3, that my right nipple became inverted. I can, with very little help, get it out again. However it usually goes back inwards again. It doesn't hurt or anything, but I am wondering if this is something I need to worry about. I am 31 years old. Thanks in advance.
