Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The symptoms you are describing about swelling of gland on areola is suggestive of infection of glands if skin called 'furrunculosis'.
Kindly clean the site with mild antiseptic like Savlon twice a day. Apply Soframycin cream following that over the lesion. Take Tablet. Amoxicillin with Clavulenic acid antibiotic twice a day for 5 days. Also take Tablet. Diclofenac with Serratiopeptidase twice a day after food for 3 days.
Your symptoms should subside in about 3 to 5 days.
Take care and All the best.
