What Causes Lump In The Montgomery Glands?
On one of my montgomery glands it has a pea sized white lump inside, it doesn't hurt but is very visable. I had a baby 3 months ago but I noticed that that particular area was always a darker colour than the rest of my areola, I'm very worried it could be something serious but keep putting off visiting my doctor as I am very busy with 3 young child....help

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, you are mostly having infection of montegomary glands.
It is quite common in young females of child bearing age. Breast feeding can cause further enlargement.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination of swelling.
You may need antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs.
Application of warm water pad on areola can reduce the swelling.
So consult your doctor and discuss all these.
