What Causes Crusty Nipples With Fluid Discharge?
I'm fourteen years old and a boy. For maybe a couple of weeks, my nipples have been... abnormal. At first, they were swollen, and I looked it up to find that this was quite normal in puberty. However, now they are crusty, and sometimes they are damp with a colourless liquid. Please could I get some advice?

Hello. I just read through your question.
What you describe is also not abnormal. I recommend using Vaseline on your nipple for the next few days. If the problem persists, contact your doctor.
