What Causes Lump Under The Nipple Of Child?

My daughter is 5yrs old and has a lump under her left nipple just like mine cancer felt like. I am a 5 yr cancer survivor but my breast cancer was aggressive & she needs to be checked at 23yrs old. Is there anyway she could have a breast cyst because she doesn t have hormones yet? Doctor just put her on an antibiotic to make it go down! What do u think???

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome.

Antibiotics would help if it is a breast abscess, which seems unlikely. The more likely condition is called fibroadenoma, which is a benign breast growth also called the mouse tumor. They are completely harmless and women live with them all their lives. Of course we need to confirm the same, so please go ahead with a mammogram of the breasts for a confirmation, especially if the antibiotics do not help reduce the size.

Also, write to me using our premoum service so I can guide you better.

Best wishes.
