Hi My baby has a small lump on his chest. when he was born i noticed a tiny hole and when we talked to the GP he said its nothing to worry about but now there is a lump in place of the hole and soft when pressed and kinda like jelly. he is not in any pain but am concerned what does this mean
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. I see similar cases in my clinic every day. During prenatal period sometimes maternal hormones like estrogen pass in baby which causes swelling of breasts on 3 or 4th day, a white creamy liquid may also ooze from the nipples. Usually, no treatment is required. Engorged breast should not be pressed, massaged or squeezed since this may result in infection. I hope this has helped you. Take care. Regards - Chat Doctor.
