Lump found under nipple - not always bad news

Hi, I've been reading this forum for the last six weeks after finding a pea size lump under my nipple. Scared to say the least and only had my appointment today. I just came on to reassure people that's it's not always bad news my turned out to be a cyst which they drained straight away. Try and keep positive and good luck to you all xx

  • Hi Mia, 

    after reading through a few stories on here I came across yours. Just over a week ago I found a pea size lump in the areola part of my nipple. I had this nipple pierced 7 months ago and have not noticed this lump before. It is painless, maybe a little tender every so often but not all the time. I'm pretty sure it's moveable, when I first found it, it was deep and now it's on the surface and if I push hard enough it goes back down, which is weird. 
     

    but reading your update really has given me some form of reassurance. I really hope it is nothing to worry about. I have a phone appointment with my GP on Friday so only time will tell what will happen next! Xx
