Uhhh...milky-colored liquid coming from nipple!

What is this? It was coming out of only one nipple...not areola, my actual nipple!! I've never seen this before, normally if I squeeze the bumps on my areola I'll see pus-like stuff (sorry TMI) but this was coming out of my nipple and was like beige-colored (i'd say watery milk looking).
Any ideas?

Well...intersting conversation!
msgorgeous.....i'm not talking about the bumps around my nipples (areola) I'm talking about my actual NIPPLE. :)

I remembered last night that about 1 1/2 weeks ago I had this crusty stuff on the same nipple (right) that was like dried glue. It had no color but it felt like a scab and i had to scratch it off. I totally forgot all about it until last night.
Its only my right nipple....which only concerns me b/c recently (last month or so) i've noticed that this nipple turns purple if not cold/stimulated, etc.... The other nipple (left) stays normal looking. The right isn't ALWAYS purple, just frequently enough that I see it and touch it to make sure it goes back to pink. I was assuming that this was just b/c somehow it was cold but now....why wouldn't the other one be the same? And the fact that this is the same nipple that had the crusty stuff and actual invoked discharge yesterday... hmmmmm......

Most women dont realize that their milk ducts are supposed to drain, even tiny amounts.  Usually, especially if you've never been pregnant, it's not even enough to notice.  If they DIDN'T drain you could get a clogged duct and that hurts like hell...my moms been through several due to an inverted nipple that won't allow for drainage.  As I said before, as long as it's not discolored (like green or yellow) and doesn't have a foul odor and there is no pain I think you're fine :)
