Sounds like blocked montgomery glands or sebacious glands ...

Subject: Bumps on breast

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
