Asked By:Lalalisa

Hi everyone, I noticed a small white bump on my left breast by the nipple incision the other day, I didn't think anything of it until today... It looks a bit larger. The bump is about the size of my small pinky nail. It looks like a very very large whitehead. Is this something I should be concerned about? I would appreciate any help my doctor won't be available to see me until next week. Thank you
