This sounds like a nipple bleb. Every time I see one I tell the mom I wish
someone would biopsy one so we would REALLY know what they are. If this mom
does have a biopsy, please ask her permission to share the pathology report.
I would LOVE to read it. My personal favorite theory is that it is the
side-wall of a milk duct sticking out with milk trapped behind it. I doubt
it is a malignancy, but without seeing it, would not tell her to skip the
recommended biopsy. A biopsy should not be disastrous, but would be
painful. If the bleb has been there a long time, you don't always get any
milk out of it when lanced.
Please share if able-
