Why do I have large Montgomery Glands and should I be concerned? (Photos)

Question

I have always had small Montgomery glands on my nipples since puberty, but I got more of them and they got much bigger after birthing and breastfeeding 3 babies. I quit nursing my last baby over a year ago, at a year old. Breast cancer runs in my family. Should these cause concern? Is there a way to fix them?

Dear Elliebell,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
