What Causes A Pimple Like Bump On The Nipple?
I am a 65 year old male, 6 1 , 300# s, taking medication for blood pressure & cholesterol. I have had a feeling like a pimple or ingrown hair forming on my right breast nipple. No swelling or lump felt indicated. I have been feeing this for a couple of weeks. Any ideas?

Hi,
You could have a superficial bacterial skin infection.
For that topical antibiotic cream can be prescribed.
If the pain is present than oral analgesic also can be taken. I suggest you consult a nearby surgeon for detailed evaluation if no improvement.
You can post a photo of the lesion to guide you further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
