A member asked:

Please advise if it's normal to have a montgomery gland attached to nipple?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: Montgomery tubercles are small darkened nodules that are attached to the nipple. They can be painful, are derived from sweat glands in the area and most frequently become prominent when pregnant.
