Pimples on Areola

by R08169689, Sep 14, 2006 12:00AM
I have what look like pimples on my Areola, and I'm only 18 years old, I'm not pregnant, and I've had them for as long as I can remember. What do I do to get rid of them?

Dear R08169689: You are likely describing a normal feature of breast anatomy. The little lumps on the aereola are called montgomery's glands. They are entirely normal.

how do you get rid of them?

by cyn17, Sep 15, 2006 12:00AM
You don't. They are a part of the breast.

by R08169689, Sep 16, 2006 12:00AM
will they ever go away?

by cyn17, Sep 16, 2006 12:00AM
No.

by R08169689, Sep 18, 2006 12:00AM
Is there anything I can do to make them go away?

by cyn17, Sep 18, 2006 12:00AM
I've never heard of anyone wanting to make them go away. You should ask your doctor.
