What Causes An Indentation Beside The Nipple?
I have been breastfeeding my son for a little over 3 years now. I recently noticed a sunken in area beside my nipple. It s there when I raise my arms and goes away at times. I sometimes also think it s the same on the other Breast. Was wondering if this had anything to do or be associated with the breastfeeding?

Hello,
Recent indentation and nipple retraction have to be evaluated thoroughly. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. A mammogram is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
