I have the very same thing. The Dr.told me that you can get clogged pores on your nips just like you can anywhere else. I dont know if he knows. I still would like to know more myself. Im so glad you mentioned this. Now I know not alone
I am really surprised only one person replied, I kind of expected this was normal and really only wanted a little confirmation lol.
Then I would try not to stress out too much about it. Theres nothing you can do until you ask the doctor. If I were you, I wouldn't worry, you'll be okay!
they only get sore after I clean them out, ie-squeeze them until they are clear. They are right on the face of the nipple, not around the sides or the areola. They have never been infected so far as I can tell.
I have gotten them arounf the outside of the nipple. I guess that would be where the areola meets the normal skin. I have never gotten them on the nipple, if so I wouldn't pick at them, isn't it sore?? I have never thought twice about them. As long as they are not infected, I wouln't worry and then when you go for your check up, ask them about it.
I forgot to mention it is on the head of the nipple, not the surrounding area.
