A member asked:
Why all of a sudden do i have little bumps right near my nipple? where nipple meets areola?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both sides?: Commonly women have prominent oil glands around the areola called montgomery glands. They are numerous and are usually flesh colored or slightly yellow. They usually occur on both areolas and not just on one side. If you are concerned about your nipples/areolas you should consult a doctor for an official diagnosis.
