absolutely get this checked out! there are so many things it could be, not all dangerous, but a good idea. I would go to a dr. who specializes in conditions of the breast, and find a dr. who actually seems concerned and doesnt have a wait and see attitude-good luck.

Please see your doctor to determine the cause of your discharge.
Best Wishes,
Rosa
