Question 1

unprotected sex 6 days ago sore breasts red bumps on areola dark nipples and cramping but started period 2 days ago. any chance of pregnancy?

unprotected sex just  6 days ago is not likely to show pregnancy that early.

Question 2

if i got a neg. hpt but have sore breasts with bumps on my areolas and white discharge, mild headaches, frequent gas, and back pain can i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses: will likely help the area drain and relieve the pain. If worsening, you should consult physician

Question 4

hi. i had an incident where i used plan b an hour after unprotected sex two weeks ago. what are bumps on my areola? also breast are sore

Plan B: Breast soreness is a potential side effect of Plan B. Bumps on areola are likely Montgomery Glands. Take home pregnancy test if you miss your period.

Question 5

1 day of small, tender bump on the areola that is incredibly itchy. no discoloration, peeling, discharge or lump under the skin. no other bumps.

Accepted Answer

Irritation: Usually this is due to irritation of some kind and will improve in a few days. If it persists or any of the other symptoms you mention develop, then it would be worth getting it looked at. Moisturizer, or hydrocortisone, may help.

17 yr old male my left nipple is inverted. my right nipple stays small/inverted and tender, i have a bump on my areola it is tender and changes size. i also have pain on my right side by my armpit. what do i have? should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Painful bump : Painful bumps is hard to answer without more information but I would recommend you get examined as it may be an infection

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Needs to be checked: It needs to be checked, visually examined and palpated to find out what it is.It may be due to an infection or insect bite or other causes.
See your Primary Care Doctor

Question 8

what causes the bumps on my areola to hurt?

Accepted Answer

Montgomery Glands?: If it was just one - i would wonder if you had a montgomery gland cyst? With pain of multiple areas - has the skin become too dry or chapped ? If yes, use a lubricant. Has fabric been abraiding the tissue  of your areolas? If so, use a soft bra.

Question 9

i have a sore areola, what do you think it is?

Accepted Answer

? Runner: If you are a runner this could make your nipples sore. Do not use soap in this area. If vaseline or aquaphor does not help you can try an over the counter cortisone ointment.If you are still not better i would see a dermatologist for a prescription cream.

Question 10

i got my nipples pierced and i can feel a bump in my areola?

Accepted Answer

Well ...: Probably just the body recognizing that there is something in the body the body that shouldn't be there -- however -- best to have it checked out by your doctor just to be sure. Always better safe than sorry in this instance! Hope that helps!
