A member asked:

Red spot on left breast almost on the areola. just appeared 2 days ago. tender to touch, itches and alittle warm. could it be a bug bite? or see a dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible bug bite: Could be bug bite or folliculitis. If it gets worse or begins to hurt see your doctor. You could be seeing early signs of mastitis (inflammation of the breast).
