Hello, I routinely check my nipples and breasts for lumps as I was taught by my mom. Now I have one Montgomery gland on either nipple that is always swollen and I eventually press to release the white stuff/sebum and oils to make it go down (and also I do it because I compulsively pick and squeeze my face and body).
For a while there has been a slightly swollen thing under my right nipple, now I dismissed it because im only 18, but I have become increasingly worried. It is most likely just a Montgomery gland that is blocked below the surface but my mind cant stop thinking the worst.
I have a history of being severely underweight and had issues with my period being too much for my body to handle, so I went on the pill. I was supposed to get scans to check there was nothing internal but then covid hit. I cannot remember when this lump formed but maybe it was because of the pill changing my hormone levels?
I have a doctor's call tonight so I will talk about it with them but I am so worried about having to go in to get checked up and feel so helpless.
