A member asked:

I woke up today and i have always had pimple like bumps around my areola but they are bigger painful and my actual left nipple is swollen what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam needed: The breast may have an infection or it could be a blocked duct causing the swelling and discomfort. In any event, its best that you have a breast examination by your physician or gynecologist.
