Nipple Sparing Mastectomy in Nov 2023 - Whitish plug in the nipple

I had a nipple sparing mastectomy in Nov 2023. In May of 2024 I started getting some WHITE stuff in my nipple. Like a thick white spot/plug. Initially, my provider removed it and said it was debris. It came back. I had a MRI of the breast in January 2025 along with 2 ultrasounds and a nipple biopsy. Nothing shows. 2 or 3 times since Feb of 2025, the white stuff will come and go and form almost like a pellet which I will find in my bra. It's like a hard grain of rice, just a tab thicker. This typically occurs after lifting weights. Anyone experience this? Know what this is from?

    Welcome @denise66!

    We're so sorry for the worries that bring you here, but we're glad you found us and decided to post. You're sure to find our commmunity a wonderful place to get support.

    Is it possible that this white substance might be scar tissue? Can your doctor send out a sample of the "rice" to confirm if it's scar tissue?

    Thinking of you and hoping others will stop by to share any similar experiences!
