What Causes Tiny Growth On Nipple?

Hi! I have a tiny growth on the left nipple that looked like a pimple. The growth is just a tiny dot that seemed to grow out of the crack on the nipple. It is white in colour and it is not liquid. It is also not painful and does not feel anything at all. i could not make out what it is and wonder if it is anything we should be worried about.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of pimple on nipple.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. If problem persists then you need to go for a skin biopsy.

Thanks.
