i have a swollen sore bump on my areola, i just noticed it and it located right next to my nipple on my left breast in the areola area. the bump is semi hard and the size of a pea and the pain is similar to a zit but there is no head and i tried to squeeze it but it just rubbed  a little of the skin off (stupid to do i know).  I am also in the middle of menstrual cycle - should I be worried?  Now that i know its there it even throbs a little.
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. As i don't know your age, , i guess you as a middle age, not in menopausal age, I guess you are having fibroadenoma. This is simple mass and firm in consistency, and it slips when you try to hold and squeeze. Permanent treatment is removal by surgery. Please take an appointment with gynecologist for further treatment. If you are menopausal age, you should confirm whether it is not a malignant swelling. Take care.
