I guess the midwife asked, but is mom using a shell of some kind? Or
something to evert the nipple? Or some kind of cream/lotion.? If this is not
the case, I would consider referral to a dermatologist, but a breast surgeon
may be indicated. Is the nipple retraction longstanding or new? I worry
about cancer/Paget's.
