A member asked:
I'm a 16 year old female and i'm wondering if it's normal to have hair on your breasts? about 1/2 inch thread like hairs that increase around areole
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: People get hairs on and near their nipples. People are also free to yank the hairs out, if bothered by the hairs. They usually grow back again, and have to be plucked again. If a girl or woman thinks she is getting too much body hair, compared to her friends and classmates, she can see her primary care doctor to make sure all is well.
