Extra nipples - Where did THAT come from?
"Some girls have more than two nipples. These are usually smaller than the breast nipples and do not produce milk when a woman is pregnant. The extra nipples are usually lower down on the body than the two "normal" nipples.
How do extra nipples get there? Well, during development, all fetuses develop a milk "ridge" down the length of the body. This ridge has a lot of nipples. Most people lose the ridge, and all but the two breast nipples, before they're born. But in other mammals (like dogs, for example) the ridge usually remains and that's why they have a few nipples in a row.
If you have an extra nipple, it just means that you didn't lose one of the nipples on the milk ridge before birth. If it bothers you, you should talk to your parents because extra nipples can be removed by a doctor. Like most things, you're probably more likely to notice it than anybody else."

It's possible, and harmless.
Draw a line between the hollow where your shoulder and chest meet, to the top of your groin--the groove where your leg joins your abdomen. Both sides. This is known as the "nipple line" and dollar to donuts the extra nipple lies somewhere along this line.

My BFF has a 3rd nipple, her cousin has one too. Must be a genetic thing. Dont worry about it.

I had molluscum which is basically a virus, but one of them was kind of a big boil on my stomach, so they called it my third nipple.

Me, people call it a "nose" or something, but I don't believe them.
