If you worry about those 'funny bumps' on the areola, those are supposed to be there; they are called Montgomery glands or areolar skin glands. Their function is partially unknown, but scientists suppose they are there to lubricate the nipple/areola area.
These Montgomery glands can be about unnoticeable, OR stand out as bumps on the areola. They often become more prominent during pregnancy. Also, it appears they are white in some women.
Some women have squeezed them and can get a white substance out, but please do NOT squeeze them because that causes them to become infected.

Bumps on your nipples are fairly common and probably not a cause for concern.

I think most girls have little bumps on their nipples. I think it's normal. But if they look a lil' weird than you might want to see a doctor.

Everyone has little bumps, but if they get bigger or if they hurt, see a doctor.

Yeah, it's normal. The skin of your areola is much different than the skin of your arm, for example and yes, everyone has them.

I get them too so maybe it's normal. But that is a good question "why"
