I'm 18 and feeling worried about my nipples. They're brown and seem cracked, and I'm scared the cracks might mean something's wrong or that they could fall off. I've never been pregnant or had kids, so I don't know if this is normal. Any idea what might be going on?

You may be experiencing a condition called nipple fissures, which can be caused by various factors such as dry skin, friction, or certain skin conditions. To help with the cracked and brown appearance of your nipples, you can try using a lanolin-based nipple cream like Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream. Apply a small amount after showering and before bedtime to help moisturize and protect the skin.

I recently saw a doctor for what might be a sebaceous cyst and got some meds for a few days. They said to check back if it improves, otherwise we might need a scan. But my wedding is on April 24th and I'm really worried is there any faster option like needle surgery or something to fix this quickly?
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
