Occasional inverted nipple. Should I be concerned?

JenbollApr 2, 2014
Once or twice over the last few weeks I've noticed my left nipple has become inverted. Once I take my bra off it pops backs to its normal shape without the need for coaxing. When I am cold both nipples harden in the same way. I'm sure this didn't use to happen. Should I be concerned?
