A member asked:

Are hair follicles on breast normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: The skin on the breast is like other skin on the body. The dark circle around the nipple, called the areola, contains hair follicles. Hair on the breast is normal. If it bothers you, you may cut with a scissors since plucking or shaving may lead to infection.
