I've had some councilling before covid kicked off and it was good.

But if not I really don't know what I'll do. Thank you for your post, I feel for you and hope that things are a little better now. I've noticed a similar Pearl like dot on the centre of my nipple too recently. Not sure if I'm better of double checking with GP, but just wanted to ask you if you've had any update since?

Hi there! If best, then maybe reach out ur to your gp fora proper diagnosis just in case. If it is a blockage, then they would also be able to release it with a sterilised needle - hope this helps xxx. Skip to main content. Post to forum. Search Search forum.
