I have had these white bumps on my nipples
they arent really big but if I squeeze
them white pus will come out what are
they?

I have this. I have always had this. I
think it's blocked hair follicles, but I
have no idea why it gets like that or how
to prevent it, or even if it's considered
to be a problem. Hopefully someone else
can shed light on it!

Fiona is right, it has to do with hair
follicles. I don't know for sure, but I
am confident that this is totally normal.
I'm a guy, and I have the same thing. So
does my girlfriend.

They're called montgomery tubicals and
it's where some capilairies come to an
end. I beleive they're covered by a
subeasious (sp) gland and that is where
white fluid comes from. I think everyone
has them. If you pop them, be careful not
to get dirt or whatever on them as it can
get infected just like acne can.

you think it's bad to pop them? When I do
it, I do it in the shower so it's clean,
but is popping them (as with squeezing
blackheads) likely to make the pores wider
and make it worse longterm?
