Question 1

Accepted Answer

Normal: It is not uncommon for young women to have their breasts develop unevenly during puberty.  You may not have noticed it until you had furuncle under nipple.  I would not be concerned.  Take care!

Question 2

a mosquito bit my baby on her breast nipple and it turn red n hard within 24hrs and a boil appeared. can mosquitoes cause boils?& how to treat it?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The proteins in the mosquito saliva can cause and inflammatory reaction that causes an itchy red bump.  Any insect bite can become infected especially if it is scratched open.  Keep it clean with soap and water.  Keep the child from scratching it by covering the bite or placing something on the child's hands.  I recommend having it assessed by a dr for infection and need for additional medication.

Question 7

my boyfriend gave me a hickey for the first time on both my breasts, and was pretty rough with my nipples. now it itches, the mark has gone away.

Accepted Answer

Set limits: Sexual behavior should be mutually delightful.  You need to tell your BF what limits you expect.  He probably does not know what your end points might be so you need to advise him.  He may have his own limits.   If he persists in overstepping what you are comfortable with, then you might consider another BF.
