noticed that my nipple on my right side is
inverted is this something to worry about.

that makes any sence. let me know if I

Ten to twenty percent of all women have
inverted nipples.
But, if you're experiencing this for the
first time and is only one-sided, you
should be worry.
An inverted nipple can be a symptom of
Breast Sheet Cancer ( Inflammatory Breast
Cancer ).
Do you have redness, swelling, and warmth
in the breast?
Does the skin of the breast appears pink,
reddish purple, or bruised?
Is the skin like the skin of an orange?
Do you feel heaviness, burning, aching,
increase in breast size, tenderness?
Can you check for swollen lymph nodes
under your armpit or above the
collarbone?
Inflammatory Breast Cancer is hard to
detect in a mammogram.
Please, see your doctor right away and for
biopsy!
Take care!

Sorry for a very delayed reply!
How are you?
The answer of your question is yes,
because if the inverted nipple is due to
Inflammatory breast cancer, mammogram and
ultrasound can be negative (won't diagnose
the cancer), but, the cancer will be still
present.
That's why biopsy is main diagnostic
tool.
