Noticed A Small Tiny Tubercule Is It Safe?
Question: Hello since last year I noticed a small tiny tubercule under gland and I have kind of become obsessed with it and I try to squeeze it in case I get something out.i went to GP and they aren't concerned. Is like a tiny small thing under the it kind of looks like two are attached on the aerola but underneath the skin under that is like a tiny small thing
Brief Answer:
Likely to be a benign swelling.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have seen the attached images. It seems that it is just a prominent gland or a blocked opening with some secretion inside. Touching it repeatedly can cause an infection.
In case it is not painful or increasing in size then you need not worry. Otherwise it can be removed surgically and biopsy can confirm the cause.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further queries are welcome.
Regards.
