Tiny bump on areola, scared to death

[edm]

I have a tiny bump, not a lump, soft to the touch that appears and disappears. I went to doctor and was told it was totally normal but he still gave me a script for a mamogram. I am so scared. I have scheduled it. I don't think I can make it a few days without losing my mind. I do have panic and anxiety.

I’m male and have the same thing. Doc dismissed it saying it’s normal. For a while I actually paid attention to areolas in pictures and so many have bumps

Thank you for your quick response. I feel better after reading your post. I did google and saw a lot of pictures. I showed the bump to the nurse and she said she had similar bumps. The physician's assistant gave me a breast exam and said it looked normal. What frightened me was when the doctor came in and without even a look gave me a script for a mammogram. He asked me when the latest mammo was and I told him I never had one (because of severe anxiety) Every little pain in the area is driving me nuts.

Probably just wanted you to not avoid your routine exams, especially since you’d never had one.

Thank you, this is what my family tells me. I feel better
