Pimples around the breasts

A normal woman's breasts should be very smooth, but when pimples appear around a woman's breasts, it will affect the smoothness of her breasts. Women should also be particularly cautious about the appearance of lumps around the breasts, because this may be a skin symptom caused by internal breast lesions. Today, let’s learn about the causes of pimples around the breasts.

What is the cause of a small lump in the breast?

There is a small lump in the breast, which may be a fibroid tumor in the breast. Some women do not pay attention to the small bumps on their breasts before marriage. After marriage, due to pregnancy, with the increase of progesterone and estrogen in the body, the breast alveoli proliferate, the breasts enlarge, and the fibroids in the breasts also grow rapidly. There will be many unfavorable factors if treatment is carried out at this time. For example, during pregnancy, surgical treatment may cause miscarriage; surgical anesthesia and postoperative medication will have a certain impact on the intellectual development and health of the newborn.

Why are there small bumps on the areola?

1. The underwear material is rough

This condition is likely to occur after the nipples and areola are rubbed against rough fabrics for a long time, so it is recommended to wear pure cotton underwear.

2. Oil secretion

Generally speaking, small bumps on the areola are caused by normal oil secretion. Because there are glands and hair on the skin of the areola. The glands include sebaceous glands, sweat glands and mammary glands. The sebaceous glands are also called areola glands, which are the obvious small protrusions on the areola. It secretes oil to protect the delicate areola and nipple. In addition, the secretions of sebaceous glands can protect women's skin and lubricate nipples and babies' lips.

3. Skin is too dry

In autumn or in air-conditioned rooms in winter and summer, the air is dry, and the areola skin needs proper humidity just like our facial skin. You can use powder cream for daily care, which can not only moisturize the nipples and areola but also make them pink.

4. Breast diseases

If menstruation is accompanied by breast swelling or lumps, this is most likely caused by mastitis or breast hyperplasia. The small particles will also change with the menstrual cycle.

5. Breast lymphatic blockage

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the breast is also a lymphatic circulatory system. Daily breast metabolites will be discharged from the armpit along with the lymph. For some patients with accessory breasts under the arms, the accessory breasts block the excretion of waste along with the mammary glands and squeeze them into the areola. In this case, women need proper exercise to help blood circulation, which can gradually alleviate the symptoms.

6. Caused by pregnancy

When women are pregnant, small bumps will appear on the areola. These are Monteggia tubercles. They are located on the periphery of the areola and are caused by the openings of the Monteggia gland ducts. In the eighth week of pregnancy, due to the influence of excessive estrogen and progesterone, lobular hyperplasia will occur in the mammary glands and mammary alveoli, causing the breasts to gradually enlarge. After the pregnant mother gives birth, as the hormone levels gradually recover, the Montessori nodes may disappear.

If a woman finds small lumps in her breasts, she should not ignore them but should get checked to see what causes them. In addition, female friends are reminded to take good care of their breasts, massage their breasts more often, wear appropriate underwear, avoid drinking and smoking, and especially pay attention to going to the hospital for regular breast checks.
