What Causes White Discharge Through The Nipple After Piercing?
Hi, I had nipple piercings about a year ago and I took both out. My right nipple has been out for about 4 months now and recently its been sore. If i squeeze it whit discharge comes out. This is only happening with my right nipple. What could be the reason? Thanks
The symptoms you are having are suggesting infection of right nipple (breast gland). I advise to consult your doctor as you might need to take a course of antibiotics.
Meanwhile, I also advise to: - keep a good nipple and breast hygiene - never do piercing especially in such delicate areas - take ibuprofen/acetaminophen to relieve pain and inflammation
Hope it helped! Dr.Albana
