Who is ready for another anatomy lesson?!? You know those bumps you love on my areola? 

They are called the Montgomery glands, located around the nipples and serve various purposes:

1. Lubrication: These glands secrete an oily substance that helps keep the nipple and areola area lubricated, preventing dryness and chafing.

2. Protection: The secretion from Montgomery glands acts as a natural barrier, protecting the nipple and areola from irritation, infection, and drying out.

3. Antibacterial Properties: The fluid produced by these glands contains antibacterial properties, which help in maintaining the hygiene of the nipple area, reducing the risk of infections.

4. Natural Moisturizer: Their secretions moisturize the skin, preventing excessive dryness and supporting the elasticity of the nipple tissue.

Overall, Montgomery glands contribute to the overall health and protection of the nipple and areola, playing a crucial role in maintaining their well-being and functionality.
