bumps on areola

I just noticed in the last week or so that i have small white raised bumps surrounding my areola, not on the areola but just on the outer rim where the skin lightens. I heard about them being all around the nipple but i wanted to know if its normal for them to just be surrounding the areola and what might be the cause for them to show up out of no where.

i heard this was no concern but i have a lump in my left breast that i have checked and doctors said no concern but on my left areola one of the bumps i can squeeze out white matter about every 3 weeks. about the amount of a good size zit! then it looks normal. it doesnt pop just comes right out with a pinch. does this happen???should i demand a biopsy?

I just noticed that on my areola I have like 5-8 little dots, some are white but then some are red. What is this?

Weellll, when my nipples get hard (if thats not the wrong way of saying it), there r these lil bumps that sometimes pops up on the bigger nipple. Before i got prego though, the bumps were still coming n going like now. Is the size, plus the bumps normal? Or is it something i need to go to a doc about?

i have always had these small bumps on my areola but the small bumps on my areola have never bothered me before other than maybe a lil itching here and there....but for the past 3 days one of the bumps has been bothering me. it is sensitive to touch, and has the sensation that you get when are lactating. however it has been 3 1/2 years since my last kid or pregnancy...the bumps dont look any bigger, and there arent any new bumps. should i be concerened?

Next to it not really close but around my areola I also noticed white little bumps they’re tiny but you can see them. And I also found a pimple on top of my areola. And just last night I started getting needle pains, not very painful but it does scare me. It also doesn’t last long. I am 20 yrs, TIA .

For a year i had three bumps on my left areola then i became pregnant and got them all over both areolas....somtimes if i squeeze one thick white puss comes out...

normal looking nipple and then there are 2 other bumps on the areola that makes it look like there are 3 nipples. On my left areola my nipple looks like its stretched out. If you look closely you can see that it looks like a strand of about 6 little nipples connected to one big one. It looks really weird and i'm scared to go to the pool because of this. I've tried to research on this but came up with nothing. Anyone know what it is?!

How are you? What other symptoms present? The little 'bumps' on the areola are called Montgomery glands, and they produce oil that lubricates the nipple/areola complex. Keeping the area dry and wearing cotton bra could help. However, if this persists, it would be good to see your doctor for proper evaluation of the rash. Take care and keep us posted.

Nipples and the areola (the colored skin around the nipple) are sensitive to touch and cold and little bumps will rise. If your breasts are just beginning to develop, then perhaps one is lagging a bit behind the other. Good luck, and let us know if you have any other concerns.

Skin on the breast (and areola) is like skin anywhere else on the body and is subject to a variety of abnormalities - such as a pimple, for example. If this gets worse or does not go away in a week, you should have your doctor take a look.

yes i am able to feel them ther all lil bumps around my areola that have now become sore i heard of this in early pregnancy but im wondering if this could happen because of O or AF :) xx

Today when i was getting dressed I noticed a lump with a white head on my areola.. It was about 4 times the size of a nice sized pimple and my first reaction was to squeeze the stuff out of it. So I got the puss out of it but there is still a small lump under the skin. Might it have something to do with the fact that my nipples are pierced? Even though they seem to be healed fine... What should i do?

Do they hurt or itch? It's very normal to have bumps on your areola- it may be something called montgomery tubercles- which are small bumps that secrete oil. They aren't meant to be gotten rid of, and are just part of your body.

Hi I'm totally devastated right now. Last Nov 25, I had sore and lesions around my big nipples. Both of my nipples... THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD THIS IN MY LIFE. A day before that, I made love to my husband. That was the last sex I had with him before this condition happened. Well, we almost do this at least 3 times a week. He loved sucking my big nipples using his teeth and I had a feeling that's the reason why it got aggravated.

Like stretch marks, prominent veins, itchiness, white spots on nipples, black flecks on the nipple, a slightly larger bump than the rest on the areola, weird wrinkle like skin around the areola when it gets cold, and a tiny rash near the top of the breast- like a little area of tiny red bumps?

While this is going on I have small red bumps with a tiny pin head filled with clear liquid appearing on my other part of the body, mainly on the back of my right hand, forming a small cluster pretty much like that on my areola, and few scattered ones on my arms, belly, and legs. when they pop they ooze too. Now I have to go topless so that the sores at my areola don't stick to clothes, but rather be crusted over.

Yesterday when I went in the shower I noticed some bumps around my areola as well...but the not the normal round ones that we already have these looked different and some were tiny n some not so tiny they don't hurt or anything just look a little weird. I also noticed my nipple grew aswell and does look darker.

I have a red small patch by the edge of my nipple on my areola. It has tiny bumps but doesn't match the rest of the glands on either brest.its oily. It does itch and the nipple sheds skin very little. My other one sheds skin a little and is less itchy.my doc did a test for bumps said not to worry. Could it be Paget's? Because this doc ended up missing something and I don't want to put my full trust in previous tests she done? HELP!!!!

I have a red bump on my areola, not my nipple. It is painless. I am not pregnant or have ever breastfed. It just popped up one day. It is bigger than a normal size pimple. I can feel it under the skin.

Okay So, I Have Irregular periods And My Period Came on Last Month April 29 until May 4. I had intercourse on May 6,7 And 8th. Today May 10th I notice the color of my areola (Nipple) Has Change Color it has changed to A Very Lighter color. And Has Bumps that looks like goose bumps. Could this Be An EARLY Sign of Pregnacy ???

i still do not know if im pregnant or not,but i definitly have gotten those bumps more on one nipple they are very visible now and the ring around my areolas are alittle darker.and my nipples/boobs are bigger.possible pregnancy sign???

s glands are usually on the areola - but they can be anywhere on the areola - not necessarily right next to the nipple. Anything can technically become infected and we don't always know how. Infections can occur from irritation, ingrown hairs and a variety of other causes. Without evaluation, it is impossible for us to speculate on whether this "bump" is an infected montgomery's gland or what it might be.

Hi francesca303! How are you? Don’t worry. There are plenty of people with the same problem you have. The glands of Montgomery, or Montgomery's tubercles, are the tiny "bumps" that are scattered around the areola. They are stimulated by our hormones and give the areola a bumpy appearance and feel. They can vary greatly in number, averaging between 4 and 28 per areola. I don’t know of any procedure that removes them since they are pretty important structures in our breasts.

Sounds like Montgomery tubercules (Sp) little raised bumps around your nipple areola area. Completly normal when pregnant. I have 2 of them on my left. They still freak me out sometimes.

one near my belly button, one on my side, one on my right areola, and two on my back (but those two feel different and might be bug bights). I’m fearful that they might be from two make out sessions from earlier this week where someone touched those areas but is that possible? No sex at all, just hands. From my research on the internet I read that it could be herpes or HPV, but there wasn’t anything that sexual going on, although I did read that all you have to do is have skin contact.

Every several months to a year, I start to develop a red rash on each of my areolas. It appears as little red bumps that pop up. The areola then begins to itch horribly, to the point where it is completely unbearable. The doctor I went to a year ago did not know what it was. At one point, I couldn't stop itching and began to scratch my skin raw. I don't know what they are, or how to deal with them.
