Hello,

Bleeding or reddish discharge from nipple usually caused by small ductal papilloma or duct ectasia. Go for a nipple discharge cytology and with that report consult a general surgeon. Don't worry most of the times it is benign only. That too at the age of nineteenth don't worry about cancer.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regard,
Dr. Siddartha
