I have permission from the mother to ask this question and post a link to the picture: I received an email from a friend of mine who knows I'm studying for the IBCLE exam. She has a purple-ish spot on her areola that resembles a bruise. She said the spot is a hard lump, but is not uncomfortable. I've search the archives as well as all my texts, and cannot find anything to confirm my hunch that this is a plugged gland. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/lncooper/e6d96a8f.jpg Seeing that I cannot find anything to confirm what it is, I'm at a loss as to what she needs to do, if anyting, for this spot. Can you help? Thank you!
