Anyone had a bun with crusty nipples?

Was at my mum's house the other day, and while I was playing with Angel I felt something hard on her side.
When I looked closer it was her nipple :s Most of them seem to have developed a yellow crust on the tips of them.
I'll be back tonight to have a closer look but was just wondering if anyone else has seen this before..
She's unspayed and coming up on a year old, could it be her hormones?

Any answers appreciated, I really want to know what this could be.
 
It could be hormonal. Is there any chance that she is pregnant or has she recently raised a litter ? If not she may have had a pseudopregnancy which included her producing milk.

She needs to be examined by a Vet and I would advise that she is spayed. This will improve her quality of life and her longterm health.
 
Def's no chance of her being preggers. Never been near another bun, and she's a house bun.
Booking her in to get spayed asap, before I get her a wee friend.
I'll get to the vets as soon as i'm able. Panicked when I looked this up on google, apparantly it may be a sign of cancer?
I'll wait to see what the vet says.
