Hello doctor,
I am 17 years old this year. Recently, the nipples appeared small pimples. I thought it was a pustule, so I didn't notice it, but then it grew and became white inside, very painful to the touch. So the doctor asked me what is the cause of the pimples on the nipples? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Specialist Doctor I La Thi Tiem - Breast Screening Center, Vinmec Times City International Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of pimples on the nipples?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You are having inflammatory lesions in the breast. You should go to a medical facility to have a doctor assess the damage, treat it, and guide you on how to properly care for and clean your breasts. The cause may be inflammation in the skin tissue of the nipple, areola or inflammation of the inner mammary gland. Acute lesions need to be treated early to avoid further complications, especially in the nipple area. The treatment will depend on the cause of the disease that has a specific regimen.
If you still have questions about nipple pimples, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
