Hairy breasts

Many women often find some hair on their breasts when they are young. It is normal for men to have breast hair, but it is impossible for women to have breast hair. In fact, when women have breast hair, it may be related to hormones or personal physical conditions. As long as it does not affect the development of the breasts, it is fine.

Many women find that they have hair on their breasts. What is going on?

What is the normal amount of milk hair?

Almost all women have different degrees of nipple hair growth problems. Some women have a few tufts of very fine hair next to their nipples; some women have longer, obvious sweat hair distributed between their breasts.

All types and amounts of nipple hair are normal. Some people may have very light and fine nipple hair, like the hair on a peach, while some women may have dark and thick nipple hair, like the hair in their private parts.

How can I get rid of them?

Pulling it out with tweezers is the best option: first disinfect the tweezers with alcohol and pull it out quickly. Then use alcohol or a lotion with bactericidal ingredients to care for the breast skin to prevent infection. Usually the breast hair will not grow back within a few weeks.

If you have a lot of breast hair, you can use a depilatory designed for sensitive skin, but it will only be effective for a week. Do not use hot wax to remove hair, because the skin around the nipples is too delicate. Do not shave with a knife, because that can easily cause the nipple hair to grow in reverse.

I feel that the amount of nipple hair has increased recently. Why?

Some women find that the hair in the nipple area becomes thicker during pregnancy, but if this is not the case for you, the sudden growth of nipple hair indicates a hormonal imbalance and may also be caused by medication. Please go to your doctor for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible or seek help from an endocrinologist.
