A member asked:
A pus like in my areola, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The Montgomery : Glands are bumps on the areola that contain a white material that lubricates the nipple ; surrounding tissues. If it is red, hot, swollen, tender or exuding actual pus - than it may be infected ; medical evaluation would be prudent.
