Question : Hi ! I have a pea size or dot size a little above my left nipple. It hurts kinda when I keep pushing on it. The tenderness around it gets bad about 3 days before my period then goes away but the pea type thing still stays I think. I had a breast Aug 5 years ago, and just went to doc with all great blood work. I have no idea what this is. I have no idea if it really moves either!
