Q: i have a small brown raised lump in between my breasts that i have had my whole life. is this a mole or a third nipple?

: Likely a mole. Additional nipples do occur occasionally, but they are located in the same body line down the trunk as the normal breast, like you would see with a dog and are usually limited to one on either side. Middle locations would not fit that pattern.
