    Question

    I am 16, and have little bumps on both of my nipples. Is this normal? And can I get rid of them somehow?

    Answer

    Chances are good these "bumps" are perfectly normal and when breastfeeding, milk will come out of those "bumps." If you are worried, show your doctor at your next exam.
