What Could A Pus-filled Bump On Areola During Pregnancy Denote?
I have a bump on my areola and when I squeezed it it bled and pussed out a little. I am pregnant but have been pregnant before so I know what lactating looks like. It is big, but not overly. It is sore now that I popped it, but not overly. Any ideas?
Such bump in the aureole area is most likely a sign of inflammation. Pregnancy and breast feeding increases the risk of breast inflammation. In some cases what looks like an breast inflammation, can be an inflammatory breast cancer. That is why you should not ignore it. Please consult a gynecologist. Ultrasound should be done and in case of any doubts, biopsy.
Hope this will help. Regards.
