What Causes Painful Bump In The Nipple?

My 17 year old nephew is complaining of a painful bump/lump in the left nipple. No discharge, but painful to touch, and palpable bump, maybe 2 centimeters. He s worried he has cancer. I don t know if this is a common complaint in young people his age, or something to worry about.

Hi,

This is not a usual complaint at this age, he needs to see a doc for clinical examination as he may be suffering from an internal abscess.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
