Breast bud? Abscess?: You're describing a "pimple-like" mass under the nipple in a preadolescent. If there's actually any drainage, or if there is redness or expanding borders, it may be an infection such as an abscess or cellulitis, requiring medical intervention. If none of these markers exist and there's simply a lump behind the nipple, this is a common finding, associated with fluctuating hormones. Your call!

Likely infection: likely furuncle, paint with iodine, see surgeon if not improved or has fever

Need office visit: The most common cause of a centralized bump under a nipple at 11yo is a breast bud.It can happen on one side before the other & be uncomfortable as stretch fibers respond to the rapid growth. Clothing rubbing over it can cause tingling or discomfort. The openings that allow breast milk to flow could allow germs in and an abscess could form.(extremely rare) Do not let anyone biopsy the site.
