TMI nippple question

[marie1080]

Something black is growing on my nipples and Im totally weirded out by it! It looks like little black spots in the little cracks on the tips of my nipples. I don't have any itching or pain. It didn't wash off in the shower... I wondered if maybe it was just lint or something but I have never noticed lint before and I only have white bras.

I'm pregnant and still nursing my toddler but haven't had any milk for a few months.

Help! I have never heard of this before...

Is it possible it's dried blood? Not actually black but just so dark it looks black?

I had this while pregnant. My theory was it was dried, sticky colostrum that got yucky. It was white at first then got black, but I couldn't clean it off easily (unless I picked at it with tweezers - ouch). Went away after I started nursing though.

Thanks guys, I was wondering if it was some mutant thrush or something.
