Umm no.
They are part of you like your skin.

It's like saying you want your pores removed becuase they are not attractive.

i got told that if you squeeze them you can get the oil that the glands produce out, however this is not advisory!! i also got told that if you place a warm towel over them for 20 minutes a night if can help reduce the size. however, you will never be able to make them disappear, merely reduce the size of them.

Hope this helps in some way

Because these are sebaceous (oily) glands like those that cause pimples, you may be able to squeeze out some white ooze. But, like popping a zit, it's painful and likely to cause infection.

Inflamed Montgomery Glands
This will help you:

Sebaceous hyperplasia occasionally also occurs on the chest, areola, mouth or vulva. They often have a central indentation.

Treatment & Prevention
------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------
The cause is unknown and tends to run in families. While no treatment is necessary, they can be treated by:
Tretinoin cream or gel used daily will reverse the condition slowly overtime and also help keep the condition from worsening.
Accutane will reverse sebaceous hyperplasia, but new lesions will develop after stopping the medication unless you also use tretinoin cream regularly.
TCA chemical peels will also reverse sebaceous hyperplasia, but new lesions will occur slowly after treatment.
They can be destroyed with electrocautery or laser.
Prognosis
------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------
Lesions of sebaceous hyperplasia are benign, with no known potential for malignant transformation.

Montgomery Glands around the areola
I have Montgomery Glands, I just found that out...I been wondering what is was for such a long time until I google it. To me its like pimple on my areola, but my husband love me just the way I am, my breast got larger after my daughter, therefore my breast is filled with lots of fatty Glands (Montgomery Glands), I did try popping it but it's still there. My answer is Don't worry and just eat healthy food and cut down on the grease and hopefully it goes down a bit but it won't go away because our breast is filled with fats and it stays with us forever Smile take care
