Why do 99% of women have small pimples here?

Nowadays, most women spend all their time on work or family, and basically have no extra time to pay attention to their bodies. Even if there are some minor changes in their breasts, they cannot notice them. Do you know what the reason for the small bumps on the areola is? Let’s learn more about it.

What is the areola?

The diameter of the areola is about 3 to 4 cm, and its color varies. It is rose red during puberty, and the pigmentation deepens to dark brown during pregnancy and lactation. It always gets darker after pregnancy and never fades.

However, the color of the areola varies from person to person, and one cannot simply judge a woman's sexual experience or whether she has given birth based on the color of her areola.

Causes of small bumps on the areola

Generally speaking, it is normal to have small bumps on the areola, but it cannot be ruled out that for some people, the small bumps on the areola are a sign of a certain gynecological disease.

1. Small bumps on the areola may be neurofibroma

It is often part of systemic fibromatosis, with groups of soft or light brown pigmented pendulous tumors growing from the nipple and areola area, causing no discomfort. The body surface is often covered with scattered tumor-like masses and pigmented spots. Surgical removal is usually not required. If the tumor is large, ulcerated, or unsightly, it can be removed individually.

2. Small bumps on the areola may be breast lipoma

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.

3. Small bumps on the areola may be soft fibroma

The so-called soft fibroma is the skin tag on the areola or fibroepithelial papilloma, which can also be called fibrolipoma. This is a breast nipple-type disease. If you have such a condition, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.

It often occurs in the nipple area. The surface of the tumor is basically consistent with the surrounding skin. It is connected to the skin by a pedicle and has a soft texture. If the skin tag is large and unsightly, it should be removed from the pedicle, including some normal tissue.

Other reasons for small bumps on the female areola

1. The underwear material is rough

This condition is likely to occur when the nipples and areola are rubbed against rough fabrics for a long time. It is recommended to wear pure cotton underwear

2. Overstimulation

When the nipple and areola are stimulated by external factors, the nipple will erect, and small particles will appear on the areola at this time. The solution is to reduce the stimulation and then use a soothing lotion. It is good and is specially used on the nipple and areola.

3. Skin is too dry

In autumn or in air-conditioned rooms in winter and summer, the air is dry, and the areola skin needs proper humidity just like our facial skin. You can use powder cream for daily care, which can not only moisturize the nipples and areola but also make them pink.
