Normal human areola particles

There are some granules on the areola of normal people. These granules are related to the pigmentation of the skin around the nipple, and the areola granules that appear in men and women are also different. Areola granules are generally a normal physiological phenomenon, and may also be the result of gynecological diseases. However, the color of the areola is related to the number of sexual intercourse and fertility, so everyone can understand the factors that lead to the formation of areola granules.

What are the small bumps on the areola?

The areola is the ring-shaped area of ​​darker pigmentation around the nipple. 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.

It is normal to have small bumps on the areola, but sometimes it is also a basic sign of some gynecological diseases:

1. Small bumps on the areola may be neurofibromas: they are 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: also known as skin tags, fibroepithelial papilloma or fibrolipoma. 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.

What to do if there are small pimples on the areola

The breast is a vital part of a woman, because its perfection directly affects whether a woman is seductive. Women with plump breasts look more attractive, and their attraction to men is self-evident. Which man wouldn’t have some dirty thoughts when seeing a girl with big breasts? The beauty of breasts is very important to women, but what if there are small pimples on the areola? Although the small bumps on the areola cannot be seen, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart.

The areola, like the nipple, is an indispensable tissue of the breast and also has its unique physiological function. Most of the milk duct outlets are concentrated in the nipple tissue, but there are still a very small number of milk ducts opening on the areola. The sebaceous glands at the areola are enlarged and raised, like small papules or forming many round nodular protrusions. These are the Montgomery glands, or Monteggia tubercles. They secrete a substance that lubricates and protects the nipple, which is why there are small bumps on the areola.

Pregnant women may also have bumps on the areola, which are Monteggia tubercles. They 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 showed that the skin on the breasts and surrounding areas became darker in color, and bumps appeared around the areola, which are normal changes during pregnancy.

Warm reminder: When you find a pimple on the areola, you must go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination. Only in this way can you be safe and assured. Otherwise there will be unexpected consequences. Experts remind that small pimples on the areola must be given enough attention. Don't be careless and take breast issues seriously.
