A member asked:
I have a tiny thing on my areola or side of my nipple and its brown, it resembles a scab. slightly raised but not sore what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be a small patch of eczema or a scab from minor trauma such as friction from. a bra. If it's itchy try applying a mild cortisone type ointment. A physician would have to examine.& advise you if it persists.
