Bumps on breasts
Of all the places on my body that I pick, I'm most upset with myself about my breasts. The areas around my nipples have bumps (I've read they're oil glands for breastfeeding), but there's always stuff that comes out when I squeeze them. People say that they have a purpose and to leave them alone, but it's hard. Some of mine are quite large, and I wonder if I've made them bigger over the years. If I pick at them my breasts look horrible and swollen. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to even to let my fiancee see them. To make matters worse my fiancee admitted that breasts are his biggest turn-on. I felt awful, because mine feel the exact opposite of sexy most of the time. I wish there was some way to get rid of the bumps, but they seem to be permanent. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I started picking at my boobs during my junior year of high school-- a seriously stressful time. Anyway, I've mostly managed to curb the habit but I still have raised bumps on my breasts filled with I-don't-know what. It's white and and to get rid of a bump I have to get the little hard "core" out which is really damaging to the breast tissue. Has anyone found a way to get rid of these filled bumps?
Also, has anyone had any success fading the scars?
I know this is a pretty personal topic but I'm really scared to show my boobs to anyone because of the bumps and scars. Does anyone have this same fear? People in relationships, what do your significant others think about your bumps and scars?
Ladygray I have the same problem! I know it's terrible to do but I just can't help myself. It is horribly embarrassing, and makes me not even want to be intimate with my boyfriend sometimes. He never asks about it because I always give a disclaimer before we do anything saying things like "sorry I'm so gross and have all these bumps from picking" but he always says I'm not gross at all and doesn't mind (even though he probably wishes they weren't there). I have had more luck with reducing my picking in the breast area than any other area, I think just by keeping my bra on at all prime "picking times". I have one scar that has been there for a few months and it's not going away and is disgusting and shameful for me to look at. I have read that scar cream or stretch mark cream have helped other people, but haven't tried it yet. I wish you luck and just know that you're not alone!
Hello I need some help. I am so happy I found this thread. I have been addicted to popping the little areola bumps for a long time now and due to this they are very pronounced. I have a few that are just on the edge of my areola and I saw them when I was breastfeeding my baby. I started popping those as well and have a red scar almost eczema like , very small about the size of a pencil eraser, it has been there for a very long time with no change. Somewhere in read about rashes and breast cancer so now I am terrified that is what it is....anyone else have this from popping? My only comfort is that there has been no changes in 2 years. Thanks in advance!!!
ladygrayyy I got this thing called BioOil, it's expensive but it works. It's not a magical substance and it doesn't work overnight lol but it does help fade scars some. I've used it on the scars on the backs of my arms (they're flat and white…I have tan skin so they stand out) and it does help to fade them. I pour a bit on my hands and I mix it in with my lotion and I put it on my arms and my breasts to help with the scarring. Hope this helped. Oh and I'm pretty sure they sell it at Walmart
