How Can An Areola Lump Which Is Hard And Painful Be Treated?

My 32 year old husband has developed at first a pea size lump under his left nipple/ariola a few months ago and it has become 3 times later and is now in his peck... its hard and he says it hurts sometimes and every time he touches it, its painful. We can't afford a doctor. Got any ideas on what it could be and what to do about it?

hi.

it could be a simple cyst or an inflammatory reaction based from your description. but it is best if you consult with a doctor and request for a breast ultrasound for him.

hope this helps.

good day!!
