Treatment For Recurring Painful And Red Knot On Nipple?
For the past year now I have had a reoccurring knot or mass come up on my left nipple. Its in the same spot every time & is about the size of a quarter, VERY PAINFUL, red and hot. It lasts about a week and goes away for a few weeks and then comes back.

Hi and welcome to HCm. Thanks for the query.
This can be any skin local infections such as foliculitis, atheroma or abscess. it should be evaluated by ultarsounde and than it can be surgically managed. if there is redness and pain with fever then antibiotics may be neccessary and you need to visit doctor.
Wish you good health. Regards
