A member asked:

I have a small bump on my areola just above the nipple, its sensitive to touch but isnt an abnormal color. it might be a bit warmer than the other areola but that could be because i keep touching it.

Pimple: This may be a small collection of pus ( a pimple ) or a blocked duct.. Keep an eye on it,apply warm compresses. if it becomes very tender,red or painful,see your doctor
