what are those bumps around my nipple?

I think you are describing Montgomery glands, perfectly normal part of your breast anatomy. They secrete a waxy substance that helps keep your nipple supple.\n\nhttp://www.susanlovemd.com/faq/nipple/nipple-rash.html\n\nhttp://imaginis.com/breasthealth/breast_anatomy.asp\n\nYou can't get rid of them, they help keep your nipples healthy, so learn to love them!

For me my nipples just turn hard and pointy - everyone can see it through my bra and t-shirt!

A good plastic surgeon that specializes in nipple/areola correction should be able to help.\n\nSpeak frankly with your primary physician and get a referral to one.\n\nP.S. You know guys, this is a serious question and she already said the condition is embarrassing. She probably has had enough rude adolescent comments on them. If you are not going to give a serious thoughtful answer, don't post!

OMG get yourself to a doctor quickly!!!!\nAny unexplainable lump or bump should be looked at as soon as possible. \nI don't want to scare you, but don't waste time asking on here, get yourself to a doctor and be reassured by someone who really knows what they are doing.

LOL Mine do it all the time too...I once had a doctor say that it's cause by a nerve cluster in the aerola (nipple) firing erratically all at once. Try scratching it with a piece of toilet paper or tissue so that you don't scratch it. Also I notice that it's worse when I wear a bra (as the day goes on.) Perhaps there is a small piece of the cloth irritating the area causeing it to itch. Mmmmmm. Try taking your bra off (if the t.p. thing don't work) and washing both breasts down with a damp cloth. That usually helps me.

Please see the webpages for more details on Nipple problems.\nBacterial or fungal infection of the nipple may also cause nipple tenderness. Tenderness may also result from local trauma or friction over the area. \nExcessively dry or excessively moist skin can also cause nipple soreness. Moisture may be due to wearing bras made of synthetic fabrics which increase sweating and hinder evaporation.\nUsing soaps or solutions that remove natural skin oils can cause excessively dry skin. Ointments containing lanolin may be helpful for the care of dry or cracking nipples. Olive oil and expressed milk are also effective for soothing uncomfortable nipples.

Spicy, I don't know how old you are. If you are young, you may still be developing. It also means that your breasts are tender before you have your period which is natural. It could also mean that you are pregnant. You may want to take a pregnancy test. Those at the store don't work. I would definitely have a doctor take a look. We don't want it to be something serious which I rather not say. If you are over 21, take a mammogram. Yeah...good luck

are they little bumps on your upper arm. if so they are clogged pores. use an exfoliating body wash and use lotion after you get out of the shower while your skin is still moist.

It could be a sebaceous cyst. They're quite often close to the surface and you can sometimes squeeze white gunge out of them. They're harmless. It might be as well for you to have it checked though.

They're called Montgomery's glands, and they're normal.  They can swell up and become more noticeable at certain times as your hormone levels change.  If they start to hurt or something, you should probably talk to a doctor, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

No they don't care. You might want to get them checked by a doctor. Inverted nipples can be an early sign of breast cancer or cyst formation.

It could be a fatty cyst, a blocked pore, an ingrown hair, a lymph note or a gland.  You need to have it examined by a medical practitioner, rather than have yahoo speculate it for you:)

From the Yahoo Health page on breast cancer:\n\n* A lump or thickening in the breast or armpit that is new or unusual.\n* A change in the size or shape of the breast. \n* Skin changes, such as a dimple or pucker in the skin of the breast. \n* Discharge or bleeding from the nipple that comes out without squeezing the nipple (spontaneous discharge). \n* A change in the nipple, such as a nipple that is now drawn inward (retraction or inversion). \n* Scaling or crusting of the nipple. \n* A change in the color or feel of the skin of the breast or the darker area around the nipple (areola).

Go to the Dr.!   \n\nI have lipomas, they sound bad but are really just fatty lumps under the skin.  My brother in law had some removed. Cysts are common too, and usually are not malignant but you need to get it checked out. My husband has had one removed, he was fine.\n\nYou need to get these checked out to make sure they aren't cancer, especially if it's in the breast area.  This will help you stop worrying and to realize what's going on.
