Barring surgery, there is no effective method to reduce the size of the Montgomery glands. These glands are common in most areolas, and may become irritated or enlarged as any gland .

When does Montgomery glands start to show in early pregnancy Are the Montgomery glands around your areola or on your areola?

Glands of Montgomery are sebaceous glands in the areola (of the nipple). The glands make oily secretions (lipoid fluid) to keep the areola and the nipple lubricated and protected. The portion of the gland on skin's surface is called Montgomery tubercles. The round bumps are found in the areola, but also on the nipple itself. They can become exposed and raised when the nipple is stimulated. The skin over the surface opening are lubricated and tend to be smoother than the rest of the areola. The tubercles become more pronounced during pregnancy. The number of glands varies from low of four to high of twenty-eight.[1] They are named after Dr. William Fetherstone Montgomery (1797-1859), an Irish obstetrician who first described them. The above is quoted from Wikipedia.
