Question: Dark ball around breast? please read through and help me!?
Answers:
It sounds like a spot or boil-there are lots of glands in the breast, and in the nipple there are sebaceous glands (you might see tiny pimple like structures on the areola, the brown area around the nipple). These can get inflamed and produce pus or secretions. The redness sounds like inflammation, and the dark ball could be a little lump of blood clot. At your age, anything like breast cancer is so rare as to be virtually unheard of, so try not to worry about that. You might want to see your doctor for reassurance, don't worry-they will have seen LOADS of problems like this.
Sounds like you had a boil. (This is very common on the breast, as well as under the arms) It is called "Hidradenitis". You may be allergic to what you wash your bra with, too much hot water in the shower, allergic to your soap/shampoo etc.etc. Apply neosporin to it.If it is still leaking cover it with a non-latex bandage. It should take pretty quick to heal over.
