Hello,

Small bumps on nipples may be due to Montgomery’s glands which are normally found.These can also be due to blocked oil glands or sebaceous glands or ducts.

Apply some warm compresses on these lumps and leave them as such.If they get hot, hard, swollen, painful, or if they get considerably larger in size,then pls consult a doctor.Otherwise they should be left as such.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts.
