I've had 2 kiddos and yeah they have done a number on my breasts. But here within the last month or two I have noticed a small nipple looking bump attached to my nipple on my areola.it itches randomly and is growing larger (slowly) and scaly I don't want to waste the little time I have with two little kids running around going to the doctor unless I basically have to. I was wondering if anyone has or has heard of anyone with this symptom.

What can I do next?

Go to the doc... we aren't medical professionals here and cannot diagnose you.

I would also encourage you to go to the doctor. And I realize that you didn't come on here looking for a diagnosis- sheesh! Sometimes it just feels better to hear back from people who may have had the same thing, to calm you down while you make an appointment. I get it!

And to make you feel better, I have had something similar. I don't remember it growing, but it was itchy and scaly for sure. I had it checked out and it turned out to be nothing. So I hope you don't worry yourself sick thinking it's always something scary. But there could be a variety of things that it is, so best to get it checked when you can. You'll feel better knowing. Regular doc, OB/GYN, or dermatologist should all be able to help. Good luck!

Growing, itchy and scaly is a doctor-ASAP situation. A dermatologist. It could be minor, or it could be very serious.

It could be a blocked sebacious gland. Have you tried gently squeezing it? If nothing comes out I suggest you call the advice nurse at your doctor's office. Because it itches and is growing I would check it out with the doctor. I get blackheads that are an itchy bump.

I had that - it was a clogged duct. You will need to go to the doctor to have it drained.

Welcome to mamapedia!!

Well, it could be a yeast infection, it could be a blocked gland, it could be MANY THINGS - however - I'm not a doctor, I have not examined you so I wouldn't be able to tell you. I'm NOT trying to be mean or anything -but you need to understand we aren't doctor's here and even if we were?? We would NOT diagnose you over the internet...

Please schedule an appointment with your OB/GYN and get checked out.
