Bumps around the nipples, often referred to as Montgomery glands or tubercles, are normal anatomical features that help lubricate the nipple during breastfeeding. These small, raised areas contain sebaceous glands that produce an oily secretion to keep the nipple and areola moisturized and protected. In some cases, hormonal changes or other factors can cause these bumps to become more pronounced. If there are concerns about changes in the appearance of the nipples or associated symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
