I'm not lactating yet, and my boobs don't hurt at all. But I've started to notice some slight black crustiness on my nipples. Is this my boobs starting to leak and it just drying up? Should I be concerned because it's black? What the heck?

Mine isn't black, but I do have some crustiness that I've noticed for a few weeks. Maybe the black is from dirt, lint, or your bra rubbing off on your nipples?
Mine is black (or dark reddish/purple) too. Have only had it during this pregnancy. Was freaked at first but seems it's probably just dried colostrum. Will speak with my MW on Tues, but I think it's nbd.
I have had the same thing for a couple of months. I finally spent some time lightly scraping/picking it off (sorry if that's icky) and am so happy I did! My nipples were a bit sore/irritated for a day but they are so much smoother and in better shape now. I really do think it was dried colostrum. I thought I would see it inside the cups of my bra if that was the case but that never happened.

Re: Uh, crusty nipples?
If I were you I'd ask the doctor. Black discharge sounds unusual.
