A picture of a pimple on the nipple

Young women sometimes find that there are lumps on their breasts that are the size of cherry, with smooth surface, firm texture, clear boundaries, easy to move and no pain. Because of their shyness, they seldom go to the hospital for treatment. In addition, the small bumps on the breast are painless, grow slowly, and there is no discomfort, which leads to a kind of fluke, thinking that massage or taking medicine can make it disappear on its own. But I don’t know that this kind of thinking is very irrational.

So what is the reason for the pimple next to the nipple? Is it a disease?

The breast is one of the most common sites for tumors. Most of the small lumps in the breasts of women between the ages of 20 and 30 are benign tumors, also known as breast fibroids. If you do not pay attention to the small bumps on your breasts before marriage, after marriage, due to pregnancy, along with the increase of estrogen and female hormones in the body, the breast alveoli proliferate, the breasts enlarge, and the fibroids in the breasts also expand rapidly.

There will be many disadvantages if treatment is carried out at this time. For example, during pregnancy, surgical treatment may lead to miscarriage; surgical anesthesia and postoperative medication will have a certain impact on the brain development and physical and mental health of the newborn. Therefore, if you find small lumps on your breasts, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

The "eczema" that appears on the breasts of middle-aged women is a malignant tumor. At the beginning, red spots appear on the nipple and outside the nipple, with itching and burning sensation. It is often mistakenly treated as nipple eczema, and patients do not take it seriously. After the disease becomes erosive, exudate often appears and a layer of brown scab is formed. Even if the scab is peeled off, the erosive surface will continue to appear.

The nipple and the skin around it become hardened, but the boundary with the surrounding skin is clear. As the disease progresses, nipple retraction may occur, and a small amount of light yellow mucus will ooze out of the nipple. In the late stage, lymph node metastasis will occur and swollen lymph nodes can be felt in the armpits. Therefore, if middle-aged women find eczema-like changes on their nipples, they should go to the hospital for physical examination and treatment immediately.
