A member asked:
What causes hair to grow on a womans breast and nipple area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DHT: Sexual hair growth in men and women is under the influence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is made from testosterone. This could be because of high testosterone level, or can be because of an enzyme called 5 alpha-reductase. You need an exam and blood testing to clarify further, good wishes.
