I have long dark hairs around my nipples?

Question

is this normal? I thought only men get hair on their chests?

Answer 1

a lot of ppl do!

Answer 2

It is perfectly normal. Don't wax them it's too painful and don't pluk as that is to painful. If they bother you use hair removing cream the one suitable for your face once a week and shower. Laser will eventually get rid of them but again very tender and painful. Unless you are distressed or embrassed by them, learn to live with them. Women get hair everywhere that men do even if it is not obvious or as course. Some people have more body hair than others. There is also stuff you can use to inhibit hair growth. The easiest and most convenient method is to use a small pair of sharp siccors and trim them back and make it apart of your beauty routine.

Answer 3

You are supposed to have some hair around your nipples. That's normal. As for being long and dark...it would probably depend....if you have darker hair and skin on the rest of your body...then they will probably be darker...but if you get too many then you may want to consult a doctor.

Answer 4

I have 3 or 4 on each breast within an inch of my nipples and they are way darker than the hair on my head. I cannot remember how long they've been there.

Answer 5

I get them, too. most people do. In the cave man days, all people were hairy, not just the men, for warmth. and when babies were born, they climbed up the thickest part of the hair on momma until they reached the breast or within reach of momma's arms. Where do you think they got that survival of the fittest? It's no big deal, you just pluck them or ignore them, or just whatever. . . They don't really mean anything anymore, and they don't DO anything, so you're okay.

Answer 6

lucky you.-welcome to womanhood.
hormonal hairs I call them. "in a nice way"
Some of us get them on our chest, FACE, belly...oh the joy of it all. Just wait till ya have a baby, you look like a "missing link" at times. Don't be scared. Its normal. Ugly yet normal.

Wax your face/belly, pluck your chest and bleach the odd ones that grow in other places as well.


Oh start looking for the 2" invisible chin hair. I'm not joking, you will feel it one day and freak.

No way to prevent this,,,, its just life.... so just keep a good mirror handy and sharp tweezers and use daylight, that's the best light to find them. Most of all keep a sense of humor, I"m married to an Italian and every time he reminds me, I remind him that we should name his "back/butt" hair cause's its like a family pet.

Answer 7

It's not always abnormal and many woman have hair where they would not like it.

It would be a good idea to go to your gynocologist and for a quick checkup. It could be completely normal, it could be a change in testosterone, it could be something else.

If you're uncomfortable, see the doc. They won't be suprised so no reason to be embarrassed.

Answer 8

First of all I just want to say how interesting it is that guys try (pathetically) to answer Women's Health questions. It is totally normal. If you want to get rid of them pluck DONT SHAVE (unless you want the hair to get stubbly and your skin to be irritated.

Answer 9

no, women can get hair around their nipples and in between their breast, it is normal for alot of women, if you are embarased about it, just pluck it or remove it with wax

Answer 10

Totally normal. Many women just don;t like to talk about it. You can pluck them safely with tweezers, but laser removal is not recommended in that area.

Answer 11

I have some too, not much though, like 3 or 4. I just pluck them.
