Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of child birth and brrast feeding. You have lump on areola with whitish material. You may have abscess forming mastitis or galactocele most likely. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
