What should I do if my accessory breast grows a nipple?

Accessory breasts are a type of tissue that grows in the armpits or near the breasts. They can develop into organs like breasts. As long as mammary tissue appears in the accessory breasts, nipples will grow on them. Accessory breasts and nipples will affect women's menstruation and milk secretion, seriously affecting normal breast function. Therefore, women with accessory breasts need to have surgery to remove the accessory breasts.

Many people have misunderstandings about accessory breasts. For example, some obese women may think that the fat under their armpits is excess fat and don’t pay much attention to it. They only start to panic when nipples grow from it. Therefore, women should learn to distinguish between accessory breasts and normal fat. Generally speaking, accessory breasts can be large or small and will not cause abnormal pain, but women may feel distension and pain during menstruation, just like normal breasts. Some accessory breasts may have nipples and areolas, which are generally not too large. There are lumps inside the accessory breasts, namely the mammary glands. There is no fixed rule for the location of accessory breasts, which may be around the breasts, under the armpits, or even in the abdomen and groin. Some pregnant women may have enlarged accessory breasts and secrete milk during pregnancy.

Therefore, the growth of nipples in accessory breasts is also a manifestation of polymastia, which requires timely treatment. Accessory breasts not only cause trouble to women and affect their appearance, but men may also experience psychological pressure due to accessory breasts, and their normal social activities may also be affected. In addition, because accessory breasts are similar to normal breasts, they may also cause diseases such as breast cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo surgery as early as possible to remove the accessory breast and excess fat, especially if a tumor is found in the accessory breast or if abnormal pain occurs, surgery is required as soon as possible to avoid further lesions.

Women can also prevent and remove accessory breasts through some methods, such as doing arm stretching exercises regularly, which can effectively reduce accessory breasts, or massaging the armpits and chest, and persisting in improving the body shape every night. In addition, it is very important to choose the right underwear. Inappropriate size or underwear that is too tight will increase the fat under the armpits. When buying underwear, you must choose the right one and it is important to try them on in advance.
