What Do Pimples On The Body Indicate?

Q I have a white tiny round pustule (pimple) like growth...have had it about three weeks, no change during that time...looks as if it is a milk duct clogged or a tiny cyst. I ve been to my doctor and she said it is nothing, am taking five days of a duclocycine drug and applying mild moist heat. No pain. No problems with lumps, have always had regular mammograms, all negative...am a very young 82 yr. female. Have you heard of this. I wasn t concerned but now I am. Will see my 365 doctor again soon...Help!

Hello
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The given history could be suggestive of fibroadenoma it is the benign lesion unless it is being investigated for malignancy and for that you will have to get done the biopsy, if this is the benign lesion and stable then just do nothing, only the worry part would be malignancy, but it is very less likely in this young age of 82 years age.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
