I had a thread last night about a small lump under my arm. This lump isnt visable apart from being slighly red but I can feel it and move it around.

This morning I woke up and my left nipple is very sore and is puckered.

Should I be worried?

deffo see Dr asap, sounds like it may be infected milk duct if red & sore

Worrying won't help put your mind at rest. Make emergency appointment with Gp. ( i say this not because I think it's something awful but because you need to know as soon as poss)
Hopefully, just a cyst. I get lots under my arm and have to be careful about checking regularly.
Hope you get an appt soon.

Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? As others have said, go to your GP tomorrow.

I'll make an appt tomorrow. I'm not bf and havent been for a year so I dont think it could be a milk duct
