I've been breastfeeding my son for nearly 4 months and since about 5 weeks in I've started getting a lump almost sprouting out from my nipple. It's grown and grown and is now about the size of a large pea.
Its 'base' is nipple texture but then the 'head' is very light in colour and the texture wise feels like a very firm and full blister almost. It hurts to push it / feel it but unless I touch it then it's no bother. In appearance it has lots of blood vessels.
It's about half the size of the actual nipple but sticks out further. It doesn't change consistency (for lack of better word) when my nipples change hard/soft.
Any thoughts? I've been putting off going to the GP.
