Hi,
Is the lump projecting above on the nipple or just palpable beneath? I guess it is the later, and this indicates normal glandular tissue beneath the areola.
There can be some asymmetry between the two sides. You need not worry. Avoid frequent pressing there to avoid secondary infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
