My daughter is 9 yrs old is developing her breasts early. Friday she noticed a bump on her areola and said that the area around her breast was itchy and then the bump started to burn . After her shower last night, she dried her body and the skin fell off the bump (like a scab I suppose). It now looks deep red like an open soar and it burns she says. What could this be?
Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Studied your query in full depth of its details. Reviewed it in context of your health concerns. Based On the facts, Your daughter seem to suffer from-Cracked / Scored Nipple / or Pimple /acne / or Boil of the Montgomery lump with Sub-areolar Abscess -as the lump is painful and itchy. Duct papilloma with adenoid or adenocarcinoma need to be ruled out due to its situation. But is remote possibility as it painful and the age negates its possibility. Mammography / USG with / CT study of the breast with FNAC Biopsy would fix the cause of the lump on the areola of the daughter. Welcome any further query in this regard, which would be replied in next session. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N. Senior Surgical Specialist. S. Genl-CVTS
