If you have little bumps on your nipple that are itchy is that a common thing or breast cancer?
Jodie, it would be really, REALLY unusual for itchy bumps on your nipple to be breast cancer. However, if they're new, they qualify as a breast change, and you should have them looked at, OK? Good luck - PJH

I don't have an answer to this. I do however have the same problem. I have had these little bumps for I guess 2 years. They don't go away, they itch from time to time and have also burned. I didn't think much about it. Is this common?

These are probably just Montgomery glands, which i wrote an article about which you can read here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2215435/why_nipples_have_bumps.html?cat=69
Montgomery glands are usually the same color as your nipple, and if you squeeze them (don't do that tho) sometimes white stuff will come out, which is simply excess oil. The itching could be simply caused by extra oil. I suggest you read my article for more information.
If they are in any way discolored or paintful, however, you should see your physician immediately, just to be safe.
