A Dad stopped me to ask about a couple of bumps that his girlfriend has had 
on her breast.  I initially thought he was going to describe a blister or nipple 
bleb. She is nursing their 3 month old daughter.  One bump was near the 
nipple, the other out towards the edge of the areola.  He describes them as 
looking like pimples, and once they raise she is able to pop them.  The 
substance that comes out is hard like a small black seed or rock.  I have never 
heard of anything like this, and have not been able to find a discussion about 
it in the archives.  Has anyone out there ever experienced this?  Dad did not 
seem to think there is a problem, just wanted to know if it was normal and 
what the black thing was.  Breast/nipple is not sore, babe nursing and gaining 
weight well.  I don't typically recommend opening/popping areas on the breast, 
but now that they have they want to know what the substance is and I have 
no idea.  If anyone can help with what this might be, please let me know.  
Thanks in advance, Jan
