The third degree is that the nipple is completely buried under the areola, and the inverted nipple cannot be squeezed out.

Inverted nipples can easily lead to diseases such as nipple areola inflammation and mastitis. Severe inverted nipples can cause mucosalization of the inverted skin with eczema. Bleeding and ulceration may occur, forming a chronic inflammation. The mammary ducts are connected to the inverted part, and inflammation can spread retrogradely into the mammary glands, causing mastitis.
