Question : Two days ago my nipple became sore. My seatbelts irritated it and I kept pulling at the belt. Tonite there is a sore that has appeared almost like a big pimple. Just had a mammogram 2 weeks ago . I think I should call my Dr tomorrow. Do you agree?

Hi thanks for posting your query
If you have done the mammogram recently and no issue was noticed then need not worry it would be a foliculitis or the normal nipple small abscess you'll need a course of antibiotics and antiseptic cream application which will need a prescription I usually prescribe Amoxicillin for 7 days
Hope I cleared your query
Take care
