Dermatologist Questions Pimples

Red bump on nipple

A few weeks ago a small red bump appeared on the outskirts of my areola. I thought it was just a pimple but it still hasn’t gone away in 3 weeks. Should I be concerned? No other symptoms. Looks like a pimple. No whitehead though.

Hello there! There are different causes for red bumps in that area including blood vessel growths called angiomas, inflamed glands etc. I recommend see a physician/dermatologist that can evaluate, and if needed, biopsy and diagnose this skin condition so appropriate treatment can be given!
