Sent to Health Experts December 29 03:41 PM

My daughter is 9 years old, she started complaining about her left breast hurting, this was about 7 months or so ago. I took her in to the pediatrician and he said that it was a breast bud forming. You could feel a small knot there. But nothing in the other breast. Now a few days ago, she has started complaining a lot about that same breast. She says it really hurts - she bumps it, etc. Today before she got in the shower I looked at it. It (the nipple) is purplish in color and ofcourse more fuller than the other. Absolutely nothing is happening to the other breast. Is this normal, just a part of puberty, or should I be concerned? Ofcourse I do not recall what it all feels like - I just was a little concerned because it just stopped and now starting over again, this time a little more intense. Still the same knot there too. Thanks for your help! A concerned Mom :-)

Is the pain and the color difference normal? The lag in time - the 7 mo. or so, is still the same breast, not the other one. Your answer was helpful - just need to know about the rest. Thanks!

Hi, the pain is concerning however this is a part of breast development (hormonal changes and such). As far as the color difference it may be due to the change in shape of the breast. Also hormonal changes can cause this change in color as well.
