How Can Inverted Nipples Be Treated?
Ive been noticing about a year now that my nipples has been called inverted. Mammogram showed ok but they did ultrasound and the dr said that she wasnt to concern about a small spot inside. Im now nervous cause my sister who had a normal mammogram has found out this mammogram thats ductal carsenoma. Ive got scared with reading up on what could be wrong and im finding at all these things that my breast is doing shows cancer

Hello,
Are you feeling any mass in the breast? Any nipple discharge? Some cancers particularly breast cancers run in families. Had your sister underwent molecular testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes? If they are positive, then there is a high chance of getting cancer. My suggestion is, please consult a general surgeon and have either fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or biopsy from the suspected spot like lesion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
