What causes lump between nipples in infant?
Patient: hi, i have a 10 week old and the has a lump about the size of a quarter in between his nipple and the base of his neck. went to the doctor yesterday and she said its a little high for it to be a breast bud. it is very warm to my touch but it doesnt seem to hurt him. tomorrow is an mri/ct scan but is there any thing this sounds like to you. im terrified. thanks -leslie Doctor: Hi,From your description, this seems to be an accessory nipple. This is a common minor abnormality seen in some babies. Here an additional nipple or breast tissue (which is small and less developed than the actual ones) develops from embryonic remnants. If confirmed, this need no specific treatment. Your doctor will discuss you in detailHope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Muhammed Aslam T.
