What Could Swollen And Painful Area Above The Right Nipple In A Male Suggest?

Hi, last night out of nowhere I started to feel pain right above my right nipple. In the areola region. It doesn t hurt if I don t touch it but it feels slightly swollen and painful to the touch. I am male by the way, any idea what this may be? It has never happened before either.

It may be a lipoma or some glandular swelling. It needs physical examination of the mass and treatment will be accordingly. Lipoma may be resected out for complete cure, but only if they are hurting. Otherwise no need for removal.

Please consult a general surgeon for proper evaluation and treatment.
