Mass in nipple: If you have hard mass in your nipple - it warrants medical assessment. Take care.

Exam: Not enough info to answer that. Still any change int the breast should be investigated So if the nipple feels hard, see an MD for exam and imaging. Only a biopsy will prove whether it's benign or not
