It sounds like you are talking about the little 'bumps' on the areola called Montgomery glands. They produce oil that lubricates the nipple/areola complex. Everyone has these. They may look like moles especially if you ever happen to have a hair grow in the nipple area.If you get hairs here, you can pluck them safely. I have been doing this for years.
April 15, 2009 - 2:32pmAre you young and not yet familiar with your body? If you are still developing, you will notice little changes happening all the time. If you are older and this is something new, then do as susanc says and see your doctor.
