jesus.. All girls have them, just some are bigger. Its just little pores that produces a teeny bit of waxy white substance. It is not milk and you are probably not pregnant... Dont squeeze then if you don't have to. And they are just a part of the nipple, guys won't care.

They're Montgomery or areola glands . . .

Glands of Montgomery are sebaceous glands in the areola (of the nipple). The glands makes oily secretions (lipoid fluid) to keep the areola and the nipple lubricated and protected.

OK you jerks- first of all you CAN'T SEE AIDS... and that's nothing to laugh about. Grow up.

But to answer the question:

Yes those bumps on the areola are normal. As "Moi" said, they're Montgomery glands. Try not to squeeze them- I guess if you squeeze them you may get white stuff out of them, but the more you irritate the gland, the more likely it is get infected. (As with any other gland of the body)
