Bibi, I know, I know... I get very paranoid every time I find something unusual about my breasts, for example they're very lumpy and I had them checked in the past because of that, and when I perform my monthly self-examination I'm always scared of finding strange lumps! I'm a bit of an hypochondriac. Also many years ago I had one BIG blackhead in the same areola, but it went away very easily, so this time at first I didn't give them a second thought, what drives me mad is that I can't get rid of them. But now you've scared me, ha ha, I just "scrubbed" the area again and now the skin looks pretty clean, but if they appear again, as they always do, I'll ask the doctor. Argh I'm not only an hypocondriac, I'm also afraid of doctors so please bear with me lol. But yeah like you say, even if it's only acne there must be some treatment for it.

And Angelus, you made me doubt. Yeah I've squeezed them sometimes but what comes out looks like very little pieces of dirt, very similar to the blackheads I get around my nose when I don't exfoliate , so I'd say they're not folicles. But there might be some truth in what you say: I suffer from mild hirsutism and I have a few hairs around the areola (not ghost hairs like yours, but very tangible hair, lol!!), so it might be a hair which has got clogged up, or which has grown inwards and caused a little infection...

Thanks much for your answers Bibi and Angelus, it's cool to have place for sharing these little scary secrets
