Pregnant, Bump Near Nipples, Might Be Montogomery Gland. How Can I Treat It?
Hello, I am 27 years old and pregnant in my 21st week, i have a bump near my nippli since almost 1 month, i made a research and i think it's called the montgomery gland.
i am worried about breastfeeding later on and hot can i treat it?
my Doctor told me that there's nothing we can do, in case it remained, we have to remove it later on.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
bumps near your nipple is called the montgomery gland,they lubricate the nipple.
they are not harmful,seen mostly in pregnancy.
so don't worry about it.
you should leave this and enjoy your pregnancy.
take care.
