puckered

For the past few months, I've noticed a puckering in one nipple. Is this normal? It's constantly in the state, even if im not cold. I've also noticed what seems to b goosebumps around the area. Should i be worried??

Hello,
This is Lila Ann and i am a 49 year old woman from Hawaii and i too also noticed on my right breast nipple on the side looks like a foldover skin like a pea size goosebumps is the best i can describe it i don't know what it could be but i have no symptoms such as bloody discharge, redness, swelling, itching notthing but i went to my OB-GYN and he wasn't there so my internest took a look at it and said it looks a little retracted an ordered a mammo i never had a mammo in my entire life and all i do is mope around the house worried sick! As for your question the small goosebumps are of no concern however u should keep a close eye on it!  As for the indentation i would see a doctor immediately as that would be of concern o.k Please don't ignore the indentation i will pray for u and please keep us informed of your diagnosis.

Hi.
The "goosebumps" you have noticed, are Montgomery glands that appear on the areola and are quite normal.
An inverted nipple can be a normal variation....However, if there is inversion of a previously non-inverted nipple that persists, that should raise a suspicion that there could be an underlying problem.

I would advise you a consult with your doctor to check your breast to better evaluate the nipple puckering.
Take care...
