I am a 27 years old female and am in good health. Since I reached puberty, one of my nipples does not protrude outwards. The other does. The size of my breasts is normal. This nipple gets dried and the tip hardens and falls off, this regularly happens over a gap of a month. It does not hurt. This condition has been observed in last 2 generations of women of our family. Why does this happen? And what is this condition called? Can it be treated? Is it something to worry about?

It is not a n unusual thing. It too found in women after pregnancy and feeding time. You can manipulate and see the tissue changes followed by erection. If it is still not pop up you can have this continue regularly to get changes, as the areas are rich in nerve endings. Usually get s well by doing it. Mean while genetical predisposition is also common in this condition which is less to worry unless any underlying pathology found left.
