19 with tiny lump behind nipple

[ajm6608]

im a mom of two. i just had my son in january. a few weeks ago i was squeezing my left nipple to see if i was still producing milk or if i finally dried up. i found a hard small seed like lump behind my nipple. it feels moveable but also like its attached also to some tissue. i made an appt. but it isnt until may 14th because my ob doctor is out of town. its freaking me out. it feels to be round.it hasnt changed in size at all since i found it. i know the chances of it being cancerous are low in someone my age. i just need reassurance while i play the waiting game.

Can milk ducts feel like a bead?

Thanks for using the forum.

Everything you stated in your question was correct. More than likely, because you just finished breast feeding, what you feel is a milk duct. It is great that you are going to see your doctor, it is always good to check these things out. You are doing the right thing.

Congrats on your new baby!
