Hi and thank you for your post. From the picture, it is hard to tell what it is- the picture is a little blurry and I can't make out the details. However, black spots around the nipple area could be comedones or better known as blackheads. Usually they will go away on their own or a mild benzoyl peroxide wash can help clear them up. Another possibility could be a yeast infection which may appear as black or dark spots on the skin. A last possibility could be flea dirt.
