A member asked:

I have what looks like a tiny nipple just emerging under one of my breasts. it has been there for as long as i can remember. no changes what can it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supernumerary nipple: It is likely a supernumery nipple. They can occur along what is called the milk line. Can only tell on examination, but if it is it is a benign normal variant
