I have just noticed that my developing 11 year old has small red bumps all around her nipple on her areola. I just want to be sure this is nothing to worry about. She says there is no itching, but I have never seen anything like it. Should I be concerned?

Dear concernedmama: You may be noticing montgomery's glands. These appear as reddish or brownish bumps on the areola. It is normal.
