A member asked:

I've always had this thing on my nipple it kinda resembles a zit but it's been there since i was 12 what is it should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is probably: ....A small cyst in the skin. If it is not changing and not bothering you, don't worry about it. If it's growing, spreading, changing, painful, or if you just want it checked, see a doctor.
