My 5 year old sphynx has a swollen nipple. I just noticed it when giving him his bath. Does this normally happen or is it something to be worried about? Please help with any suggestions if you know what's going on. Thanks
My five year old male sphynx has a swollen nipple. I can't tell if its a lump, gland, pimple. Or what it could be. If a anyone knows if this is common or what it could be, I'd appreciate the feedback. Thank you

Can you take a pic to share? Might help to see if a glandular issue or perhaps an irritation.

Welcome to sphynxlair, good to have you. I agree a pic might help.
It might be the best to go ahead and take him to the Vet just
to be sure. Share some pictures of your baby, we Love pics.
Let us know what you find out.
That's my boy. I will definitely take a picture tomorrow. I really appreciate the help!
He's a handsome little gentleman.
You can see the difference there. It's not red though. I haven't tried touching it yet. I hate making him cry.
I think I recall you inquiring about this recently. I would have the vet check it if it has not gone down and if it is not a pimple. You will feel better getting a professionals's opinion.

Sorry to hear of this issue. Is it red or look infected, if not, sometimes a pimple or black head can form at the nipple, if "gently" squeezed it can sometimes be popped. if it seems to bother him with you touching the nipple area, don't touch it, a vet visit would also be recommended. Oh, welcome!
