Inquiry

My son is 6 years old. A few days ago, I noticed a red, swollen lump on the nipple of his left breast. It feels hard when touched, but it doesn’t hurt unless touched. There’s also a particle that looks like a pimple in the swollen area.

Response

This condition is typically caused by inflammation, and it is recommended to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment. It is suggested to visit the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination as soon as possible to determine the cause. If it does not affect normal daily life, you can initially observe the situation. If discomfort worsens, seek medical attention immediately. Meanwhile, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and avoid eating spicy or irritating food. You can try localized heat compress and massage therapy. If the condition does not improve, surgical treatment may be necessary.
