Bump on areola
I am 14 and I have had this small bump for all I can remember. It's not a pimple and it's not like a huge bump I can't explain it all too well and I'm sorry. I have no idea what it is and need some help finding out
Hi
Small bumps on and around the areola are usually normal; they're either glands (for the purpose of lubricating the nipple during breastfeeding) or hair follicles. If you notice a change in the bump(s) for example: if it becomes enlarged, irritated, painful, swollen or red, then the bump needs to be looked at by a doctor. For more info. you can research Areolar glands.
