Sudden raised sore spot on Areola, what is it?


Something Ive not encountered before and Im not entirely sure what it is.
Boobs were fine a few hours ago but noticed when I went to feed Theo just now that on the areola under my nipple there is a raised area, its tender to touch, slightly raised, slightly hard and possibly more red (hard to tell haha)
First thought is a bit of a blockage, hes had a full feed from that side no problem (though latching was sore...first time after he was a day old...) and then I hand expressed to check flow and seems fine but the area is still sore...its only a small spot.
Am I being dim and its something really obvious?
