What Causes Nipple Pain And Lump Under Nipple In A 9 Year Old?

My 9 year old daughter has complained of her left nipple hurting for the past few days. I investigated it tonight and there is a hard lump under the left nipple, but not the other. She shows no sign of puberty and if she follows my lead that will not be for another 7 years. Her other nipple is fine and has no lumps. Any thoughts other than puberty which is far off. She is a skinny minny and not overweight by any means

Hi,

Congratulations you think well. Yes could be a sign of menarche, the first thing that change in the woman body is the breast they start to grow. And this could came with pain. Pain relieve can help. It s time to search a GYN.
