Pimple on my nipple

Pimple on my nipple

I am a 52 year old male. I have noticed what appears to be a white head pimple on the tip of my left nipple. I have been applying hot packs to the area and it looks like it is going to pop. Is this something I should be concerned about or is this fairly commom? There isn't really any pain in the area, it's more of an itchy feeling that I have to force myself not to scratch. This is the 3rd day.

I wouldn't say that it's terribly common but it isn't uncommon either. If it looks like a pimple then most likely that's exactly what it is, especially if there are no other symptoms.I would think it will pop and then go away. If it doesn't resolve on it's own in a few more days then there would be no harm in checking with your Dr. if you are concerned or if other symptoms develop. Immediatly following the application of the hot pack a gentle squeeze probably wouldn't hurt .... GENTLE !!  Regards ...

I'm not a doctor but my advice would be to check with your doctor sooner rather then later.
My breast cancer was found because a small white pimple popped up on my nipple.  If it hadn't been for that they never would have found my ILC.  It never hurts to be safe and pay the doctor a call.
