I don't know if anyone else has this problem. On my nipples (or rather I should say the red area around the nipple) I get hairs growing. Some small and fine (thus barely noticable) and some long and quite thick (almost like pubic hair). I currently pluck them to get rid of them but does anyone know why some girls get these? Is there a way of getting rid of them without plucking?

I'm not a girl but I am a professional in the field of human sexuality. Hairs on the areola are very normal. I would suggest plucking as your best bet if you are committed to removing them because other hair removal methods like powders and creams could damage the sensitive tissues.

I started getting them when I was about 25 and all I do is pluck them. I just keep an eye out for any new ones in the shower and get rid of them. Sorry, but they will start to appear in a few other places as well as you get older, it's a bummer but I am looking into laser removal to see if that will work.

Yup they're common and all in the genes I'm afraid, I don't think there's any other way apart from plucking or even waxing because the area is very sensitive so wouldn't risk it

It's common enough and nothing to worry about. You are right to pluck them and they are totally normal.

If you are getting more hairy other places such as upper lip etc you should go to your doctors for a blood test as it could be a hormone imbalance or polycystic ovaries

You might want to try laser hair removal. Laser hair removal specialists claim that laser hair removal will permanently remove hair. You might also want to try using hair inhibitors. Hair inhibitors usually come in small spray bottles. They are supposed to dissolve each hair at its root. They are supposed to permanently remove hair.

I read somewere that its really common and i think its got something to do with having to much testosterone.
But dont worry to much its natural.
