Sore nipples and enlarged bumps around the areola can be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, particularly during menstruation or pregnancy. These bumps, known as Montgomery glands, can become more prominent due to increased blood flow or hormonal fluctuations. Other potential causes include irritation from clothing, breastfeeding, or infections. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation.

Will you get bumps on your areolas if you are pregnant?
Yes. The bumps you're referring to are called Montgomery glands or Montgomery's tubercles, and they can become more prominent during pregnancy. These bumps can resemble pimples and can spread out sporadically around the areola. The number of the bumps can range anywhere from around four up to 28 or so per areola.
What is wrong if you have red bumps on your nipples and pus comes out when you squeeze them and if these are just pimples how did you get them?
Don`t squeeze. Nipples have tiny glands around the areola that produce some fatty substance when you are nursing, to protect the whole area. Now, if you are not female and not nursing and not on the pill, you may see a doctor anyway.
Why did a bump form on your nipple?

Why do women get bumps around their niple?
Bumps around the nipples, often referred to as Montgomery glands or tubercles, are normal anatomical features that help lubricate the nipple during breastfeeding. These small, raised areas contain sebaceous glands that produce an oily secretion to keep the nipple and areola moisturized and protected. In some cases, hormonal changes or other factors can cause these bumps to become more pronounced. If there are concerns about changes in the appearance of the nipples or associated symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
