[edit] Im a guy

I have that thing. WTF it looks like its for women only. 76.3.186.148 00:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

same here. this article needs info about inverted nipples on men. at least a few sentinces EvilHom3r 13:02, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

    I have it too. Can someone find what are the causes of such a thing?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.254.125 (talk) 07:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC) 

[edit] Sexual

Why is this in the sexual anatomy category? --chad 08:09, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Language

The language used in this article is rather juevanile. I think it calls for a cleanup. Tinman8443 20:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] pictures

there should be pictures

another vote for pictures —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 159.105.80.92 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I think pictures would be appropriate considering the rare nature of this deformity. Tinman8443 20:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

For the record, I don't think that routinely referring to nipple inversion as a deformity is advisable, since it's not always permanent, and many people don't consider it a deformity in the first place. The current language in the article seems fine, but just a consideration. --Hurtstotouchfire 21:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

vote for pictures. Sense there is a female pic, maybe one of a inverted nipple on a man? EvilHom3r 13:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

if possible, yeah that would be great. I've had some experience gathering statistical information on nipple inversion though, and it seems much rarer (say, 10x) in men than in women. I think that simply having a couple of different photos would be good, the current one isn't the best example, and they do vary. --Hurtstotouchfire 21:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification?

I just tried to organize the article a bit. I ended up rephrasing a few things for clarity's sake, but a few of the paragraphs just didn't make sense to me. In particular, the breastfeeding paragraph beginnging "Another treatment is to shape the nipple", while I sort of understood the concept, just seems garbled. If anyone knows what this user was trying to say and could clarify, that would be wonderful. Also, I don't know much about piercing, and the precaution about healing was somewhat confusing.--Joanna 04:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] insult

this is very insulting, i have it. your using a very strong word. your acting like its an awful deformity,"what monsters", you say. in fact no one has ever said anything about it. its just like saying "people with blonde hair are stupid". T strong language in this article should be removed. it is hardly noticable. if you saw a guy with an ugly face you would say,"what an ugly face" not "what ugly nipples". if you saw a handsome guy you would say "that guy is handsome" not that guy has bad nipples". this is highly juvenile.216.49.242.45 02:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)ip address

We strive for a NPOV here, and if you feel that this article is biased, please either correct it yourself or be more specific about where exactly the "strong language" lies. -Joanna 04:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Breastfeeding issues - more than the average?

Some women with inverted nipples report pain or soreness associated with breastfeeding.

First, this claim is unsourced, second (and because it's unsourced), it's hard to tell if this is supposedly more common among people with inverted nipples than otherwise. Because while breastfeeding, it's fairly common among women to feel some pain or soreness, regardless of if nipples are inverted or not. -- Northgrove 20:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

While this is an unsourced comment, I can tell you with certainty that it's very true, and definitely worth having in the article. We should look for sources, but it shouldn't be removed. --Hurtstotouchfire

[edit] Inverted Nipples

The article makes mention of Inflammatory Breast Cancer or Sheet Breast Cancer, then has a footnote that goes to an outside website that states the inverted nipple is nothing about which to be concerned. We need to insert another footnote to:
