In the last couple of days, I've noticed a reddish, slightly raised/swollen, slightly tender-to-the-touch bump on my breast -- roughly the diameter of a pencil eraser. It's right at the edge of the areola. It's not a part that my baby has in his mouth while he's nursing (his latch is fine, I've just got huge areolas), which makes me think it's not a bleb/milk blister. I had one plugged duct once, when he was a newborn about 3 months ago, and it looked/felt different and hurt more... so I don't think this is a plugged duct, although maybe? It seems more like a zit, honestly, but without the whitehead. (I also breastfed an earlier baby and never had this.)<br><br>
It's not really bugging me at this point, but I'm worried that it will get worse. Any ideas?
