Question : I have a lump on my nipple and normally when I squeeze it white stuff comes out however I now have a swollen painful lump underneath it now, what would that be ? I can't squeeze anything out and when I did get something to come out it looked like blood.

Brief Answer: Considerations. Detailed Answer: Thanks for the query. This could be a clogged mammary duct. this can happen from time to time. would use warm compresses - do not press or squeeze. If symptoms persist - mammogram might be helpful or possibly an ultrasound. most likely benign but needs watchful observation for now. Sincerely, Dr Galamaga
