What Is The Large Warm And Tender Red Area On My Breast?
This morning I noticed an almost quarter size red area near my left nipple on my breast. I didn't notice it before today. It feels warm and is tender. Although circular in shape, you can feel an oblong shaped lump in same area. Im a little nervous...should I go to doctor right away?

Hi.
Well to share a fact with you, this does not look serious..
Yet as you have a doubt better to show to a Doctor as visual inspection id the best way to diagnose this. Whatever it is the treatment is almost similar in many such cases. This does not mean diagnosis is not important.
Take the treatment as advised by the Doctor for 5 days - DO NOT seat the lesion for a few days.
You will be fine, as this looks to be a dermatitis may be - insect bite or a small boil erupting.
