Milky Point

The milk point is the area where the epidermis of the milk field grows into the underlying connective tissue, which is the rudiment of the mammary gland. The milky field is an area of ​​skin from which the mammary gland subsequently develops. During the period of embryonic development, the epidermis of the mammary field grows deeper, forming a milk point.

The milk point consists of epithelial cells and connective tissue. It is the primary anlage, from which the mammary gland is formed as a result of further morphogenesis. The development of the milk point occurs in fetuses of both sexes. In girls, after birth, the milk points continue to develop into mammary glands, while in boys they usually undergo reverse development.

Thus, the milk point is an important stage in the histogenesis of the mammary gland, which begins in the embryonic period. The formation of a full-fledged mammary gland in women depends on the correct formation and development of milk points.



Milky dots are areas where the epithelium of the mammary fields grows into the underlying connective tissues, which are the rudiments of the mammary glands. They are one of the most common and common breast pathologies.

Depending on the severity and nature of the disease, milk spots may require different levels of treatment and diagnosis. In some cases they represent a purely cosmetic defect, and in others they can lead to
