I notice an accessory nipple in my 7 day baby boy. need help to understand what could be the possible reason and will it create any issue in future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: It is not uncommon to see accessory nipple(s) along the milk line extending from umbilicus to normal nipple in both boys and girls , embryological vestigial structures . Don't worry as they grow barely visible
