I can see some blood clot kind of thing in 2 of her nipples. When being touched it feels like a small lump. What is it?

I do not see anything immediately concerning on the pictures but it is recommended to get all lumps checked by your vet to rule out sinister causes, especially if there is any change in size, colour or texture. Some changes will occur with puberty and this may be what you can feel
