Question
The goose bump like things that surround my nipple have gotten larger and in more clumps. Someone told me that is just because I have been doing more work and I have been sweating more frequently. Is this true? Is there something I should be worried about? Please help!
Answer
The size and number of those little bumps are different for everyone and are normally there is nothing medically to be concerned about with them. If you are worried, you should ask your doctor to take a look and answer any concerns that you might have about them.
