puckering

[charlenecohen]

Hello, I am the girl of 21 who asked you about nipple puckering and lumps. I would really like to thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it. If it's not a problem for you I have one more question to ask. Is nipple and aerola puckering the same for both breasts? Because I have one breast which becomes more bumpy when feeling cold than the other. Plus the bumps on this particular breast are more protruding; however, they disappear as soon as I feel warm again. Thanks for your help!

Dear charlenecohen, It is not uncommon to have some differing  from one breast to the other.   This is true in regards to physical characteristics such as breast size, it also is true in regard to response to cold.

Asymmetry is part of nature: one's breasts are rarely exactly the same on both sides. The point in your case is that the changes occur in response to cold, and go away completely.

Yes it's true that the changes occur as a reaction to cold, but I was worried because although they disappear when I'm warm, it is always the same bumps that occur again when I am cold; that is, bumps occur in the same place. That could not be a lump, couldn't it? Thanks and sorry for asking too many questions but I found your help very useful.

since the bumps that occur when I feel cold are always the same bumps, could they be lumps? thanks and sorry for disturbing again.
