What Causes Areola Area Lumps With Nipples Soreness?
My daughter is 8 years old, swims on a swim team and practices 3 times weekly. I m assuming the soreness in her nipples she is experiencing is because of the chloring, however, if you press on the nipple area I feel a few bumps around the areola part. Is this anything to be considered about?

Hi,
Few nodularity or bumpiness is normal under areola and indicates glandular tissue. You need not worry if it is not painful/tender and no any discharge.
Nipple soreness is probably unrelated, and as you mentioed, may be from some irritants. Just keep the area clean and dry to allow healing in 3-5 days. Local antibiotic creams like fusidic acid can prevent secondary infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
