Small Bumps on the Areola — Should You Just Leave Them Alone?
Many people feel self-conscious about the small, raised bumps around the nipple and experience concerns such as:
- When viewed up close, they can make the areola look uneven or less refined
- Even when the breasts are attractive, the details may feel less than ideal
- The appearance of the areola can become a source of concern during photography or situations involving exposure
What Are the Montgomery Glands?
Montgomery glands are sebaceous glands located around the areola that can create small bumps in the areola called Montgomery bumps.
Depending on their size, number, and degree of protrusion, removing them may be considered for cosmetic improvement.
