Bump on 13 year old's Areola
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello, I'm a 13 year old male, and I have what I think is a Montgomery Gland, but it's bigger than the others, and I can feel it slightly under the surface of the skin. Is this normal?
It's symmetrical, round, and about twice as big as the other glands.

Dont worry.....its perfectly normal.
If it becomes distressing for you then do have a chat to your doctor.

But is it normal to see it as a bump on the skin's surface?

Or just hormone stimulation of the gland,in which case it should gradually get smaller as your hormones settle down. As I said before this may take some months.
Neither are serious...its just your body trying to adapt to surges of hormones.
As before...if this is distressing for you,maybe you feel anxious when you have to undress for games/PE at school...then talk to your Mum or Dad or see a doctor. Are you in UK?

I think I've had it for about a month or two, and it and hasn't gotten any bigger. It's only about 5 millimeters around, and I can feel it slightly under the skin, so it seems to just be a stimulated gland. I'll keep my eye on it though.
Thank you for your help!
and no, I'm from the US.
