What Causes Small Lump Under Nipples In Children?

My daughter is 8 years old and I was putting sunblock all over her yesterday and I noticed that she has a lump under each of her nipples smaller than a marble but bigger than a pea. I was just curious if this is normal? And does it mean that she is going to start developing? Or should I be concerned?

Hi,Dear ,Good Evening.
Thanks for you query to HCM.This is Dr.Savaskar from India helping you out of your health query.
I studied your query in-depth and understood your health concerns.
In My opinion the your daughter -is developing and is entering pubertal changes in her breasts.
Thats why she has lumps under each of the breast nipples.
You should not worry for it to be Cancerous -as these are normal puberty changes in her breasts.
So you should not worry and feel concerned for these breast lumps.
If it still worries You as parent-consult ER primary doctor who would examine and re-assure about the above NORMAL BREASTS.
-Hope this would help you to plan treatment with your ER doctor.
-Wellcome for further queries for this issue to HCM.
Wishing a fast recovery for you.
Have a Good day.
