hi found you this answer from netdoctor. co. uk it should interest you as its all about your little problem. inverted nipples are quite common but women are not often aware of this because it is not a popular topic of conversation. inverted nipples are sometimes regarded with a degree of embarrassment although there is no reason for this. i don't think your own situation is going to be too much of a problem because your nipples are capable of 'coming out' (becoming everted). this is probably more noticeable when you are cold or aroused. your nipples contain some erectile tissue that causes them to become more prominent. the biological reason for this is to aid breastfeeding. although your nipples may be flat or inverted a lot of the time when the erectile tissue is stimulated they stick out. you can encourage them to be more permanently erect by rolling the nipples between thumb and forefinger frequently perhaps several times a day over a period of time. also gently pulling on the nipple when it is erect can help make this state more permanent. you can also buy nipple shields to use. these are designed really for women in pregnancy who want to improve their chances of breastfeeding but there is no reason why non-pregnant women can't use them. they consist of a circular plastic disc with a central hole. the disc exerts pressure on the tissue around the nipple and encourages the nipple to protrude through the central hole. they can be worn at any time. in pregnancy many women find their flat or inverted nipples become everted anyway in association with the breast changes and enlargement of pregnancy. i certainly would not advise surgery for this benign condition. yours sincerely the netdoctor medical team do hope this helps you. good luck
i don't know if my nipples are inverted are not. (13 yo started period) they aren't like most girls. i started my period not that long ago and i realized that my nipples aren't normal. they're just puffy/smooth with no bud. when i'm cold they look stiffer or slightly more tighter? there still wouldn't be a bud. i did the test where you pinch the areola and it worked but i still don't know if it's effective because i'm young. this makes me very self-conscious no matter how much people say i shouldn't be. is this a part of puberty? will they stay this way? if so how can i change them? help!
