What Causes A Hard Lump Under A Nipple?

my 17 month old son has a hard lump under his right nipple. It has a green tint as if bruised and also has bled a couple times the last few days. It seems like the blood is coming from the nipple itself because there is no other place it could come from

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear Your baby seems to suffer from-Right Mammary Duct Ectasia or it could be due to hemorrhagic Lymphangioma(Hamartomatous Cystic lump rarely ) with bleeding from breast.
USG would fix the cause of this nipple bleeding with lump.Surgical excision would be needed only if the lump does not regress with persistant right breast lump.

Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied with it.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.I would love to help you out.
Awaiting for any further query.
Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem.
Have a Good Day.
