Q: "pinples" On Nipples Due to Birth Control?
asked by:

About a month into my birth control (am now 2.5 months into it), I began to notice these little pimple-like things surrounding the areolas of my nipples. They appear to be shiny and "bulbous"
i popped them, and sure enough they secreted a clear fluid. Whether this was sweat, oil, or water, I don't know. But it came out. And as a result of the squeezing, the little pimples are all bleeding.
I also have noticed one that is a dark red on top of my left areola.
................
If it helps, I am using the pill ortho tri-cyclen lo.
.............
My breasts have definitely grown since going on the pill. But even so I am not sexually active, so I think I can safely rule out pregnancy (unless it's immaculate conception or aliens abducted me in my sleep and impregnated me xd).
..............
My question is this: is the appearance of these fluid-filled nodules on the nipples a side effect of the birth control, along with any other breast changes?
