Question Posted Saturday November 18 2006, 10:19 pm
Ever since i can remember i've had alot of litle dots on my areolas. i've always been ashamed of them and i doubt i'll ever show my breasts to anyone. sometimes if i squeeze one really hard white stuff will come out, like acne but i'm not sure because i've tried using proactive on them.
Razhie answered Saturday November 18 2006, 10:51 pm: Please stop worrying and PLEASE stop picking at those bumps. They are supposed to be there; they are called Montgomery glands. No one is really certain of thier function, but doctors think they help keep the nipple moist during breastfeeding.
These glands can be almost invisble or look like white bumps on the areola. Some women can squeeze them and get some white liquid out but you shouldn't do that! They aren't zits, they are glands with moisture in them and breaking them can get them infected.
Relax, ask a doctor if you must but rest assured they are completely normal. Stop picking at them or treating them with harsh cleansers. They wont go away. They are supposed to be there. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
