A member asked:

Red swollen nipple with tender breast. not sure what to do. nipple has a slight lump on it. no discharge.

Seek care: Whenever there is a change in your breast it should be examined ASAP. Although this may be an infection for which antibiotics could be prescribed, it may also represent a cyst or an early breast tumor. Your doctor will likely recommend that you have a mammogram and an ultrasound of the affected breast.
