Believe it or not, everyone has some type of formation of bumps around the nipple area on their chest. The purpose of these bumps are to secrete oils that are necessary to lubricate the skin. The anatomy of the nipple area consists of the nipple itself which is a raised projection of the skin overlaying the pectoral muscle of the chest. Around the nipple is a circle, or oval, of darker skin called the areola. It is within the areola these extra bumps are located, some miniscule and small, others resembling small nipples themselves. A common mistake is to assume these bumps are pimples and should be removed by one of the common treatment methods for removing pimples. This practice should not be followed, as the extra bumps in this particular area of human anatomy serve a needed body purpose.
