Is it safe to have little tiny bumps all around your nipples and if not what should you do?
Small, harmless bumps around the nipples are common. They're usually caused by an overgrowth of glands in the skin around your nipples. These glands produce oil that helps keep your nipples moist.
These bumps are usually not a cause for concern. However, if you're concerned about them or if they change in size or shape, see a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
Here are some things to keep in mind about small bumps around your nipples:
* They're usually not a sign of breast cancer.
* They're more common in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
* They can also be caused by certain medications, such as birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy.
* They can be treated with over-the-counter creams or gels that help to reduce inflammation.
If you're concerned about small bumps around your nipples, talk to your doctor.
