Probably : The montgomery glands on the areolas become larger during pregnancy. They contain a material that maintains lubrication of the nipple ; surrounding tissue. If the bump becomes red, warm, tender, swollen or has pus then it may be infected and would require medical attention.

I have a rash between my first finger and my thumb that appeared one morning. The rash looks like small red pimples. Even though it does itch, I can stand not to itch it. Hydrocortisone does reduce redness, swelling, itching. Rash is nowhere else. ?
