A member asked:
Am i pregnant? i have goose-like pimples on my aerolas, mainly on my breasts.

Maybe: These are probably montgomery glands. These glands help protect the nipple and produce oils and antimicrobials. Although they can enlarge in pregnancy, they are not a sign of pregnancy. Do not pick, squeeze, pop or otherwise irritate them. They are most likely normal. If one is particularly large and not going away, see your obgyn.
