What is the cause of the small pimples on the areola?

Many female friends think that the areola should be smooth. When they suddenly find small bumps on the areola, they will become nervous and don’t know what is going on. In fact, when women are pregnant, some small particles will appear on their areola, the scientific name is Montgomery glands. Montgomery glands are not exclusive to pregnant women, but can occur in adult women. It is a skin characteristic, not a skin disease.

Small bumps on the areola may be caused by normal oil secretion because the skin of the areola has hair and glands. The glands include sweat glands, sebaceous glands and mammary glands. Its sebaceous glands, also known as areola glands, are some obvious small protrusions on the areola. They are large and superficial and are used to secrete oil and protect the delicate nipples and areola. The secretions have the function of protecting the skin and lubricating the nipples and the baby's lips, so it is understandable that the Creator has his reasons for creating this thing for women.

When a woman meets her ideal partner and gets married, she may also develop bumps on the areola during pregnancy. These are Monteggia tubercles, which are located on the peripheral part of the areola and are formed by the bulges at the opening of the Monteggia gland duct. From the 8th week of pregnancy, due to the increase in estrogen and progesterone, the mammary alveoli and lobules of pregnant women proliferate and develop, causing the breasts to gradually enlarge. Examination revealed that the breast and the surrounding skin (areola) were darker in color, and lumps appeared around the areola. After miscarriage, Montessori nodes may disappear as hormone levels gradually recover. It is normal for breasts to enlarge due to the influence of hormone levels in the body after pregnancy. It is also normal to have small bumps on the areola. These are nodular protrusions formed by hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands around the areola. These are normal changes during pregnancy. Female comrades should have some knowledge of this basic medical knowledge.

1. Small bumps on the areola may be breast lipomas.

It is the most common benign tumor on the body surface. It can occur in any structure with adipose tissue, but is most common on the body surface and in the breast. It mostly occurs in obese female patients, and the age of onset is mostly between 30 and 50 years old. The main manifestations are single, round or lobed soft masses with clear boundaries, slow growth, and very few malignant changes. Treatment is mainly surgical resection. However, the surgery should be thorough; if there is any residue, it will inevitably cause recurrence. The resected tissue should be sent for pathological examination to avoid missed diagnosis due to the combination of other tumors.

2. Small bumps on the areola may be neurofibromas.

It is often part of systemic fibromatosis, with groups of soft or light brown-pigmented pendulous tumors growing from the nipple and areola, causing no discomfort. The body surface is often covered with scattered tumor-like masses and pigmented spots. Generally, surgical excision is not required. However, those that are large, ulcerated, or unsightly can be removed individually.
