Female chest hair

Although chest hair is a secondary sexual characteristic unique to men, some women also grow chest hair, that is, the hair growing on the breasts, which can be called nipple hair. There are two main reasons why women grow nipple hair. One is physiological and the other is pathological. Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause women to have abundant nipple hair. Below, we will introduce in detail the reasons why women have chest hair, the normal amount, and solutions!

1. Why does hair grow on breasts?

1. Physiological:

Everyone has hair follicles around their nipples, and the nipples begin to grow hair during development, so almost all women have nipple hair growth problems to varying degrees. Some women have a few tufts of very fine hair next to their nipples, like the hair on a peach; some women have longer, obvious sweat hair between their breasts.

2. Pathological:

There is a disease called polycystic ovary syndrome, which is an endocrine disease in which the ovaries are enlarged and contain many small fluid-filled cysts, the level of androgen increases, and ovulation cannot occur. Such patients may have excessive hair growth and hair around the areola. If this is the case, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to rule out pathological factors causing the symptoms.

Some women may suddenly experience an increase in breast hair over a period of time. This may be caused by endocrine disorders or medication. In this case, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible to find out the cause.

2. 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.

3. How can we 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.
