Is A Red Lump On The Upper Nipple Area A Serious Concern?
My daughter is 17 and has a lump on her upper nipple area, it's red and was itching her a couple of days ago. The itching went away but the lump and redness is still there. I thought it might be a bite of some kind but it does not look like a typical bite to me. Should I be concerned?

Hi
Welcome to the website
The age 17 does not raise much concern regarding a possibility of cancer per se.
However their are other diseases and benign tumors called adenoma that can present like this.
Best would be to get an ultrasound of breast from a radiology trained in breast US. And then I can help you better.
