Brief Answer:
Visible pores on the breast are usually normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Visible pores on the breast are usually normal. Particularly around the nipple and over the areola, they appear as small tubercles.

They are usually the cause of acne formation in the breast.

If you see changes such as increase in breast size, inverted nipple, thickened skin, and tenderness you should see a gynecologist.

If you don't have any of these symptoms, there is nothing to be worried about.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you for your reply. It has really helped. I don't have any of the other symptoms you mentioned. I experience some breast pain but I have had this checked at the hospital and it was attributed to perimenipausal symptoms. So hopefully this means the visible pores are not anything to worry about.
