It is always a good idea to consult a physician when you notice any changes in your breasts. That being said, I think what you are seeing is normal, however.
"It is quite possible that the bumps around your nipples that you are describing are mammary glands, which naturally appear on the areola (the circular pigmented area that surrounds the actual nipple) and look like small pimple-like bumps. The purpose of these glands is to help women deliver milk to babies when they are breastfeeding. In addition, the nipple is surrounded by hair follicles, and hair can be found around the outside of the areola. The amount of actual hair varies from woman to woman, usually begins to grow around puberty, and increases as you grow. This is a completely normal occurrence and is not a medical problem."

"Glands of Montgomery are sebaceous glands in the areola (of the nipple). The glands makes oily secretions (lipoid fluid) to keep the areola and the nipple lubricated and protected.
The glands become exposed and raised when the nipple is stimulated."

Could you be pregnant? These lumps/bumps get larger during pregnancy.......

It can be normal for some women to have pimples on their breast but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

could you just be cold?
maybe having a pimple outbreak?
go check with your doctor, and dont be embarrassed, he probably sees more things like that than anything else!
