pimple

this morning while taking a shower i noticed that the area around my nipple hurt.. when i looked down i noticed what appeared to be a very large pimple. it was really big and at first i just thought it was a large lump. i thought it was strange that this was the first time i had noticed it and after more careful observation i thought it looked like a pimple. i took the liberty of popping it and white discharge came out that looked like what would come out if you popped a pimple on your face. but instead of just a little it seemed like alot and it bled a little also. now it hurts and just looks like an inflamed red spot.
im worried.. is this normal.

Dear itishere: Skin on the breast is like skin anywhere else on the body and is subject to pimples etc. If this does not heal or if it gets bigger, you should have your doctor examine it.
