    What are the little bumps around the nipple

    I was trolling the boarsd and noticed this wasn't answered. I did not know the answer (I am a guy) but it can easily be googled.

    If you worry about those 'funny bumps' on the areola, those are supposed to be there; they are called Montgomery glands or areolar skin glands. Their function is partially unknown, but scientists suppose they are there to lubricate the nipple/areola area.
    (this was taken from a Google search)

    Hope this helps!
