How To Get Rid Of Painful Red Lumps On The Areola?

Just today, I have a red, painful pimple sized lump on my areola. I get small bumps regularly, but they have never been red and have always gone away. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Also, I haven't breast fed my youngest in over 3 years.

I studied your query in-depth and understood your health concerns.
-In My opinion the Cause and Treatment -
-for painful red pimple sized lump of areola-is mostly Pimple due to the Montgomerri galnds-(sebaceous glands of the areola) infection of the areola.
Treatment-is by-
a-Antibiotics / anti-inflammatory creams locally- for 2-3 days -only if the lump on areola doesnt reduce after the following local applications of
b-Olive oil,
c-Aloe Vera-gel / Lubricants locally to reduce the dryness and expedite healing of the sore nipples
d-Top -feeding of the baby during these 2-3 days time
e-and Breast pump extraction of the breast milk to keep breasts empty during these 2-3 days time forms the basis of treatment of your case.
