Can montgomery glands be improved by microneedling or retinoids?

April 22, 2021
Asked By:becks081 in Cardiff, GB

I have prominent montgomery glands on one areolea, and surgery is not an option for me. I think the skin is a bit stretched out or scarred around them because I used to squeeze them. Would microneedling or any topicals like tretinoin decrease their appearance or smooth the wrinkled skin around them?

Homayoun Sasson, MD, FACS says:

Radiofrequency Microneedling is a great option for improving skin tone and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, unfortunately it will not eliminate the your linea nigra. Lightening creams may be helpful along with avoiding sun to prevent further darkening.
