Hello,
I believe these are the early symptoms of pregnancy. White spots often result from a blocked nipple pore when someone is breast-feeding, or as a normal reaction to changing levels of hormones within the body.
I am mentioning some possible causes of white spots on the nipples and areolas: Pregnancy and hormone changes.
Blocked nipple pores and duct. Infection. White spots on the nipple may become visible during pregnancy.
Montgomery glands are the main white spots that become more visible due to pregnancy and hormone changes.
Symptoms, A change in the size and number of Montgomery glands visible on the nipple and areola is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. This can occur even before morning sickness or other pregnancy signs.
The causes of female hormone changes include the menstrual cycle, the contraceptive pill, the menopause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
