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.

Bong Bong
657 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam District
- I visited Bongbong’s Wellness Center on a busin
- I traveled from California for breast augmentation, and the team made coordination via WhatsApp super easy. Thanks to Dr. Park’s ultrasound-guided sizing … More and drain-free no-touch technique, recovery was fast and my results look and feel completely natural at two months.
- While visiting Seoul on a business trip, I consulted Bongbong’s Basic Cell / Wellness Center for chronic fatigue and aging skin. Unlike typical clinics … More that just push quick fillers or superficial lasers, Bongbong operates a dedicated regenerative center with comprehensive diagnostic facilities.
My consultation was deeply informative; the anti-aging specialist walked me through my lab work and explained the science behind stem cell therapy in very realistic, approachable terms. The care took place in a quiet, private VIP suite that felt very calm and restful. Their aftercare was especially impressive—using their hyperbaric oxygen chamber helped noticeably with post-procedure recovery and stamina. Within a few weeks, my energy levels improved and my skin felt significantly firmer and healthier. A very professional and well-equipped medical center.
