Specializes in Infectious Disease

Forever? Unlikely.: Note that since the areolar object you described is constant in size, painless and present "since forever", it is unlikely to be dangerous. However, if these characteristics suddenly change, then t will be wise to discuss these changes immediately with your doctor.
