Question
I have written before with the shadowing on my left breast and finally receiving a core bx. You were a big help then.
Now, I have noticed a pimple like area on the areola on by rt breast ( the 9 o'clock position).It is tender and red.Is this most likely a benign condition and is there anything I can or should do?
Thanks for your help and have a blessed day.
If it is tender it is probably an inflammation - but without an examination I can not be sure! Since I can not examine you and also since also an inflammation may be in need of being taken care of I do suggest that you let a dr. check you! good luck!
