Is it normal for a woman to have tiny bumps on the skin of her nipples?

If you are talking about the skin surrounding the nipple, the areola, yes it is normal. The areola is the circular part around the nipple itself, generally the same color as the nipple. The skin is roughened, which is what you may be thinking are bumps. Depending on the person, the nipple may also be ‘wrinkled.’ This is more noticeable on a woman when her nipples aren’t erect. Perhaps either one of these is what you are thinking of as bumps. Regardless, nipples are a lot like snowflakes: No two are the same. If a woman has breastfed a child, her nipple will, most likely, be different than it was a year before breastfeeding. If you’re worried about something you’ve noticed on your partner, you might want to ask her about it. Only she can tell if it’s normal, seeing as how none of us responding have seen this woman’s nipples (most likely).

The bumps are the ends of the mammary ducts. There are about 20 of these on each nipple, and they help drain milk from different segments of the breast. Some women’s are more noticeable than others, but unless there’s some unusual inflammation or redness around them, they’re fine.

Yes, they are normal. They are called Montgomery glands.

Im suprised you ask after 4 years of college 🙂 but yes it is normal (most of the time) but all women have mammary glands, which naturally appear on the areola (the circular pigmented area that surrounds the actual nipple) and look like small pimple-like bumps..
