Why My 7 Year Daughter's Left Side Breast Nipple Has Grown Abnormally And Feeling Hard ?
Question: from couple of days i observed,my 7 year daughter's left side Breast nipple has grown abnormally and feeling hard . No pain is there..
Brief Answer:
Benign lump
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
A lump below nipple is most probably a cyst, intraductal papilloma or a fibrous lesion. These are mostly benign (non-cancerous) lumps and nothing to worry about. A diagnosis is made by examination by a surgeon or mammography. A biopsy will confirm the diagnosis. If this does not regress by itself, a surgeon can excise it.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
