What Is The Remedy For The Sore Nipple And Bump In The Areola Area?

Yes, it's been a couple of days now & for a moment, I thought my breast were sore well I took a look at my nipple & saw a red bump in the areola area. It's been there for a couple of days & the pain would come & go buy today, it's just been hurting. It's super painful, I can't even touch it. It feels like there's something under the bump. Any suggestions on what it might be?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

As the pain is strong and the redness is present, most probable reason of your symptoms is a small abscess in the nipple area. Don't know if you are male or female, but this can be due to gynecomastia, some skin infection, breastfeeding, or even a inflammatory type of cancer symptom.
I suggest you to visit a surgeon with this issue. An ultrasound should be done at first. If its an abscess, needle punction or incision might be necessary.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
