Not on the nipples themselves, but around them. They are usually quite thin and long, and their number rarely exceeds 10 pieces. There is no need to be alarmed by the presence of such hairs, especially if they appeared gradually during puberty. In most cases, hair around the nipples is due to genetic predisposition and increased sensitivity of androgen receptors. In this case, they do not pose a danger, although their presence does not look very attractive.
The sudden appearance of hair on a woman's chest or an increase in its amount may be due to changes in hormonal levels and an increase in the level of androgens - male sex hormones. This does not mean that a representative of the fair sex begins to gradually turn into a man, but in this case it is still worth seeing a doctor. This change in hormone levels may be due to taking inappropriate hormonal medications, endocrine system disruption, or pregnancy.
In this case, it is best to consult a gynecologist-endocrinologist and get tested for hormones. Usually, after taking the right medications, body hair stops actively growing.
How women can get rid of chest hair
It is better not to touch light, thin and barely noticeable hairs around the nipples, as their frequent removal can lead to changes in the color and structure of the hair. In the latter case, they will become more noticeable and will require constant depilation. But you should get rid of long and dark hairs, as they usually do not look very aesthetically pleasing.
It is best to use regular tweezers for this. They should pull out their hair along the growth line and quickly enough. After this procedure, the skin on the chest should be wiped with a disinfecting lotion. Of course, after a couple of weeks the hairs will appear again, but removing them again is unlikely to take much time.
You can also simply trim unwanted hairs, but with this method they grow back very quickly, and dark roots often remain noticeable.
You can also use depilatory cream to remove hair around your nipples. But it is better to apply it only to the root of a specific hair follicle, but in no case to
Nipple hair
Most girls and women are afraid to talk about the fact that they have a problem with the growth of unwanted hair on their nipples. Most of them have tried everything to overcome this phenomenon. This problem is quite easy to understand, because the female breast is not just an organ for feeding a child, but it is also the most attractive part of the female body for the opposite sex, which is very important in a relationship with a man. And if hairs start to grow around your breasts, then this develops into a big problem that constrains you and complicates your personal life
You cannot ignore the problem, but you need to try to understand in detail why this process begins.
Is chest hair normal or abnormal in women?
In general, hair on the human body (man, woman or child) is absolutely normal.
The fluff appears in the embryo somewhere in the fifth month of intrauterine development, by the 9th month it gradually disappears, but rolls out completely after birth.
Active growth of body hair resumes during puberty - the time of puberty.
Then it will become clear who was lucky enough to get a small amount of light hairs on the arms, legs and in the armpit area (and in the groin area, of course), and who will have to fight with the “dark dense forest” all their lives.
The situation of the latter is even more terrible in that dark hairs grow not only in the above-mentioned areas, but also above the lips, on the chest, lower abdomen, on the back and even on the buttocks.
Too much body hair in women has even received a medical name - hirsutism.
But, despite the recognition of the problem of increased hairiness in women by science, society flatly refuses to accept hairy women.
It gets to the point where “good” friends even mock girls who have dark fuzz over their lips and on their arms.
If it becomes known in a women's group that someone has black hairs on their chest and tummy, the unfortunate owner spends hours listening to dozens of tips on how to get rid of them.
If she refuses to do this, she receives some unspoken title: “slob”, “abnormal”, “strange”, or something funny like “fluffy”.
Why does hair grow on my nipples?
All girls think about their health and care about the attractiveness of their breasts, which is, of course, the right behavior, because... female breasts play an important role. It will be difficult for an attentive girl not to notice the unexpected appearance of hair on her chest. The reason may be certain problems in the body's functioning that require additional research.
The most common cause of hair growth is a hormonal imbalance associated with changes in the level of androgens in the body; an increase or decrease in their level contributes to the appearance of hair on female nipples. Every woman who suffers from this problem should definitely contact a specialized specialist, conduct a hormone analysis and begin treatment.
Another factor in the appearance of hair on the female chest is the hypersensitivity of androgen receptors, which depends on genetic predisposition. In this case, simply cosmetic procedures will help the problem.
Hormonal imbalance
In pregnant women, the mechanism of rapid growth of hair on the nipples is also associated with a high level of male sex hormones, but this condition is caused by a sharp decrease in the production of estrogen and prolactin, which leads to a hormonal shift. After the birth of a child and the beginning of lactation, the amount of female sex hormones increases rapidly and the manifestations of hirsutism practically disappear. Hair on a woman's chest becomes normal and does not irritate the baby during feeding.
Any hormonal disturbances in the human body do not occur in a short period of time, and if hair on the areola and nipple appears quickly enough, one can think about the development of a serious pathology. Before contacting a cosmetologist to solve the problem of skin cleanliness, you must consult with a gynecologist and oncologist. This will help to identify a possible disease of the female genital area in time and carry out appropriate treatment.
What to do if a woman has black hair growing on her nipples?
The method of treatment directly depends on the cause of this phenomenon, i.e. Without determining the cause, it is impossible to effectively treat this problem.
If the cause of hair growth is hormonal imbalance, then hormonal therapy will come to the rescue.
In the absence of hormonal imbalance, medical treatment is not required because this problem is not life-threatening. But for aesthetic comfort, you should take care of removing hair from the chest area. Some methods can be identified to combat this problem, but all of them will have only a temporary effect, and will differ only in the duration of solving the problem. So:
- A fairly old, but time-tested method of hair removal is using tweezers. But as you must understand, it, of course, has a lot of disadvantages. Not everyone will like the pulling procedure, because... it is quite painful and not every woman decides to take such an action, and even if she does overcome herself, the effect of this procedure will not last long. The appearance of new hairs is possible within two weeks.
- A modern alternative to razor shaving is hair removal cream. The principle of its action is this: it penetrates deep into the skin and acts on the hair shaft itself, while damaging its structure. After this procedure, hair can be easily removed even with a sponge. This method is suitable only for those who do not suffer from allergic diseases.
- Electrolysis and hair removal with wax are quite effective, but very painful.
- A modern solution to the problem is called electrolysis, and it solves this problem forever.
- A course of laser hair removal will also free you from this problem.
- Another modern method is photoepilation, but it should be used only after consulting a mammologist.
What to do if hair grows around your nipples
How to remove hairs?
Unwanted hairs that appear in unexpected places have a huge impact on women's self-esteem.
In order to stop feeling unattractive, many women take up a razor, although this is absolutely forbidden!
If you constantly shave your hair in the same place, you can aggravate the process of its growth.
Unwanted hair will appear more often, grow longer and make women more and more depressed.
The most common method that most women resort to is hair removal using tweezers.

This method is convenient in cases where there are few hairs, they grow in a visible place and have an average length, which will be convenient for the tweezers to catch on.
If you have delayed your visit to the doctor and the hair around your areola has been supplemented by hair on your sternum, then this method can become very tedious.
Another disadvantage of removing chest hair with tweezers is the time it takes for the hairs to re-emerge from the suddenly awakened hair follicles. This will happen in seven or ten days.
Chemical hair removal removes unwanted hair for about the same number of days.
However, it is less popular among women as it can cause skin burns on the chest or leave behind irritation that will attract unnecessary attention.
Causes of hair around the nipples in women
There are 2 main reasons for the phenomenon of hairs near the nipples in women:
Increasing the amount of male hormones in the body. A similar phenomenon can be observed in the case of pregnancy, diseases of the endocrine system, and also as a result of taking certain hormonal drugs.
The tendency to develop hair around the nipples can be inherited. In other words, a woman can genetically inherit the sensitivity of androgen receptors.
Causes of unwanted hair around the nipples
The skin that covers the human body contains millions of dormant hair follicles in its microlayers. Some of them are activated at birth, others during puberty.
Hormonal imbalance. An excess of corticosteroid hormones in the female body can cause a woman to find long, black hair on her body in places where there should not be any.
The basis of this imbalance is the problematic functioning of either the adrenal glands or the pituitary gland.
Hormonal imbalances can occur during pregnancy, due to endocrine diseases, after taking medications that are inappropriate for the body, as well as from rapid weight loss or gain.
Heredity. Some girls are born with high levels of testosterone, which begins to actively affect their body during puberty, causing the growth of unwanted hair.
Eastern peoples, who are characterized by increased sensitivity of androgen receptors, are at risk.

What to do if hair starts to grow around your nipples
If hairs near the nipples appeared suddenly, within a short period of time, or before there were several of them, and now there are suddenly more of them, be sure to visit an endocrinologist. And try to do this as soon as possible. It is possible that you have problems with your hormonal levels.
If the doctor does not find any abnormalities in the structure of your hormonal levels, you can calm down a little: hair around your nipples does not pose a danger to your health. However, women are still often dissatisfied and want to remove excess hair. Indeed, because of this unpleasant feature, a decrease in self-esteem is possible. However, you can find a solution - remove the hairs that grow around the nipples.
How to deal with hair around your nipples
So, here are some possible ways to eliminate nipple hair. The most common one is to arm yourself with ordinary tweezers. Having grabbed the hair, pull it out with a sharp movement in the direction of growth. After eliminating all excess hair, wipe the delicate area of skin near the nipples with lotion. Of course, the result obtained will not be long-lasting. After about 10 days, vegetation will appear again. It is not recommended to resort to shaving the hair around the nipples. You will only remove the outer part of the hair for a very short time (it will become noticeable the very next day). And most importantly, after this the hair will be noticeably stiffer.
Hair removal using hair removal products. The use of the latter is quite effective - under their influence, the hair and, to a certain extent, its subcutaneous part can dissolve, after which the area around the nipples can be easily washed off with a sponge.
However, such creams should not be overused. Avoid getting these products on your nipples, wash them off promptly and follow the instructions in everything. You will have to repeat this procedure approximately once every 10 days.
Cutting off excess hair with nail scissors is a fairly safe method. After it, irritation will not appear, as after applying an hair removal product, but the effect itself is quite short-lived.
Waxing and electrical hair removal can be somewhat painful. But the result may well last up to 5 weeks.
There is also a radical method that will help you permanently get rid of hairs around the nipples - electrolysis. Its essence is the elimination of germ cells in the hair follicle. This is done by inserting a thin needle into the hair follicle through which an electric current is applied. Although the skin itself is not damaged, small bruises or scars may remain on it for some time. Before going to a beauty salon to remove unwanted hair using photoepilation, consult a mammologist.
The laser hair removal method is quite effective, unless the hairs grow due to any hormonal imbalances. The significant advantages of this method are that it is safe and painless. To get rid of excess hair forever, you need to repeat the laser hair removal procedure several times.
Photoepilation is another painless method, which is characterized by a fairly long-lasting effect. However, it will not be possible to limit yourself to just one session.
Now you know what to do if hair grows around your nipples.
The modern world dictates certain canons of female beauty. A fashionable look, stylish makeup, and, of course, smooth skin all over your body. Women monitor excess vegetation and actively fight against it.
True, for a number of reasons it may also be present in the décolleté area. To get rid of it, a woman must find out the root cause of the hair and why it grows around her areola.
The presence of hairs on the breast halos is not dangerous, but indicates possible disturbances in the functioning of the body.
Note!
The presence of hairs on the chest is not dangerous, but indicates possible disturbances in the functioning of the body.
Hair growth periods
Puberty
Premature puberty in girls can cause hirsutism. The doctor must examine all areas of hair growth
(armpits, abdomen, pubis, chest, inner thigh) and prescribe a hormonal examination.
Interesting!
To find out why hair grows around the halos in women and girls, use a special Ferrimon-Gallway scale. It allows you to assess the level of hair growth and draw preliminary conclusions about possible hormonal disorders.
The doctor must examine all areas of hair growth and prescribe a hormonal examination.
During puberty, the following can provoke the growth of unwanted hairs:
- various systemic factors (presence of possible diseases);
- sensitivity to male sex hormones (androgens);
- heredity;
- hormonal imbalance.
It turns out that if there is a predisposition to polycystic ovary syndrome (or there are problems with the adrenal glands), most likely symptoms of hair growth in different parts of the body.
Also, the growth of excess vegetation can be observed during the transition period.
Pregnancy period
Hormonal changes in women are a common reason why hair grows around the areola. During pregnancy they are characterized by these hormonal changes.
A global restructuring of the body is taking place, which can lead to hormonal imbalances, which can trigger the occurrence of hirsutism.
At the beginning of pregnancy, the production of male sex hormones increases.
Excess testosterone provokes hair growth on the head and other parts of the body. This is completely normal.
It should go away after childbirth (within six months).
If the number of hairs increases, be sure to consult a specialist to find out the nature of their appearance.
At the beginning of pregnancy, the production of male sex hormones increases. Excess testosterone provokes hair growth on the head and other parts of the body.
Menopause
It often happens that during menopause, a woman experiences hormonal changes that provoke the appearance of unwanted hair on her chest.
Another possible factor why hair may grow around the areola in women during this time may be the use of various medications (for example, anabolic steroids, androgens, corticosteroids).
It is best to contact a gynecologist who will conduct an examination
, will collect information and, if necessary, refer you for consultation to another specialist - an endocrinologist or mammologist.
Another possible factor why hair may grow around the areola in women during this time may be the use of various medications.
An endocrinologist examines for possible problems with hormones.
If they are not there, then visit a mammologist, since the presence of tumors or inflammatory processes in the mammary gland may be the cause of excess hair.
Hirsutism - causes and possible treatment
A similar pathology is observed in 4%-7% of women and represents increased male-pattern hair growth. Outwardly, this is manifested by the replacement of ordinary women's soft vellus hair with coarse pigmented hair. Thick dark hair primarily appears in androgen-dependent areas, that is, in tissues of the female body that are hypersensitive to male sex hormones - androgens. In addition to the face, hips and back, the most vulnerable place is the female breast, especially the areola and nipple of the mammary gland.
This problem is associated with increased production of androgens in the female body, which in a healthy woman are completely neutralized by female sex hormones. The main reasons for the growth of hair on the female breast are the increased production of male sex hormones, the reaction of the female body to taking various medications, heredity and idiopathic or causeless excess of androgens in the patient’s blood.
Increased production of androgens is a sign of serious disturbances in a woman’s hormonal system and is a symptom of the following diseases:
- In 60%-65% of cases, the cause of rapid hair growth on the patient’s chest is various ovarian diseases. In most cases, these are polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian tumors and hypotholamic aminorrhea. With such a pathology, a woman experiences infertility, menstrual irregularities, hypertrophy of one or both ovaries
- Excessive hair growth on the nipple is possible due to disruption of the pituitary gland. Most often, this symptom occurs with Itsenko-Cushing syndrome and acromegaly.
- Hirsutism is quite typical in the presence of adrenal pathology. Neoplasms of the adrenal glands lead to the growth of cells in their cortex and cause increased release of androgen and other steroid hormones into the bloodstream.
A genetic predisposition to hair growth on the nipples and areola is a fairly rare pathology and mainly indicates that a woman belongs to a certain ethnic type. Vegetation on the mammary glands is the norm for some peoples of the Caucasus and the Mediterranean region.
Often, chest hair growth is a consequence of drug therapy. This cannot be called an allergic reaction; simply, various drugs can stimulate the release of androgens in the female body.
First of all, these include anabolic steroids, corticosteroids, streptomycin and interferon. When prescribing these medications, the doctor must warn the patient about the possible consequences.
Idiopathic hirsutism, together with ovarian diseases, is the cause of chest hair growth in 90% of patients who consult a specialist with this problem. An increase in androgens in a woman’s blood without the presence of any pathology is often observed in pregnant women in the second half of pregnancy.
We recommend reading an article about such a deformity as an inverted nipple. For what reasons can this pathology occur, what diseases contribute to nipple deformation with the presence of retraction, how the defect is corrected with medical help, you can read in more detail in this article.
Ways to deal with the problem of unwanted hair
It turns out that every third representative of the fair sex faces the problem of the appearance of vegetation in the décolleté area. In some they are barely visible (like a small fluff), in others they are dark, long (1-2 cm), strong hairs.
If at first they are light, hardly noticeable, and over time they begin to change color (darken) and increase in size, then consult a doctor (endocrinologist, gynecologist, or mammologist). Only a doctor can find out why hair grows around the areola in women.

Hairs around the areola, if they are not the result of any chronic disease or other disorders of the body, do not cause any particular inconvenience and are not a defect in appearance.
Most women are absolutely not worried about this, just like their loving and beloved men.
This video will introduce you to the characteristics of the body that provoke hair growth in different zones.
This video contains a lot of useful information for you about hirsutism and chest hair removal in women.
From this video you will learn about the reasons for the appearance of chest hairs in girls.
Phenomena such as nipple hair bothers the fair sex. For what reason do they appear and how to get rid of hair? Let's talk about these issues.
Hairs cover the entire human body, with the exception of the palms and soles. Women have significantly fewer of them on their bodies than men. This is due to higher levels of androgens in males.
To begin with, it is worth noting that hair does not grow specifically on the nipples, but around them. Hair on a woman's chest does not attract either its owner or the opposite sex. Therefore, most girls struggle with unwanted hair, but not always successfully. You need to remove it wisely. As the saying goes: “Aware is forearmed.” This statement fully reflects the essence of the issue. After all, it is extremely important to know why this problem occurs. It is difficult to fight a problem from the outside if its roots grow from within.
So why does hair appear around the nipples of women? There are several reasons why nipple hair appears:
- Genetic factors
- Hormonal changes in the body
- Pathologies in the endocrine system
Genetic factors
Each person at birth is equipped with certain genetic information passed on to him from his parents. That is, there is a hereditary predisposition. Therefore, chest hair in a woman can be a hereditary factor.
Thus, you should not immediately sound the alarm when you find hairs near your nipples. In this case, it is not necessary to see a doctor. Inconveniences can be eliminated cosmetically without affecting the body from the inside.
Hormonal changes
At certain periods of a woman’s life, changes occur in her hormonal background. They can be caused by both the development of the body and negative deviations. During adolescence, a hormonal surge occurs.
Hair on a girl's chest may appear for this reason, and the amount of hair may also increase. The same effect occurs during pregnancy.
The female body is being rebuilt, and this also affects hormonal levels. Hair on a woman's chest may become more noticeable during this period. If this does not apply to pregnancy or adolescence, a woman is recommended to take a blood test for hormones. So that, based on the results of the tests obtained, the doctor can prescribe the correct treatment.
Changes in the endocrine system
With certain disturbances in the functioning of certain organs, a change occurs in the regulation of hair growth on the nipples in women. For example, if the thyroid gland malfunctions, the secretion of hormones is disrupted. Also, the increase in vegetation can be affected by the formation of malignant and benign tumors in the body. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Possible causes of hair growth on women's breasts
Why does chest hair appear? Here are the typical reasons:
- Hormonal imbalance. When the body produces the hormone testosterone (it is present in large quantities in men) in excess, doctors usually diagnose hyperandrogenism. This disease may have its origins: disruption of the adrenal glands and ovaries, disruptions in the menstrual cycle, tumors of the adrenal glands.
- The predisposition is genetic. There is no cause for concern if your immediate female relatives have the same problem. There can be no talk of pathology here.
- Side effect of medications. The following drugs can cause active hair growth: cortisone, minoxidil, hydrocortisone, diazoxide, prednisolone, interferon, cyclosporine, streptomycin and acetazolamide.
- Special cases. Unfortunately, in medical practice there are cases when the cause of unwanted vegetation cannot even be determined by numerous tests and studies.
How to get rid of unwanted hair
Firstly, it must be said that it is necessary to correctly determine the cause of increased chest hair growth.
Only after determining the cause can you think about possible ways to solve the problem. If excessive hair growth around the nipples is due to heredity, there is no need to consult a doctor for help. You can contact a cosmetologist for an external solution to the problem.
If increased growth is a consequence of some other reason, then treatment prescribed by a doctor will most likely be required. That is, the issue will be resolved from within.
Cosmetic removal
The following methods are suitable for cosmetic disposal:
- You can remove hair using tweezers. This is a fairly simple and fast method. After removing unwanted vegetation, be sure to wipe the area with an alcohol solution or any other antiseptic. Tweezers remove hair, but do not destroy the hair follicle, so after a while the procedure will need to be repeated. Also, after removal with tweezers, new hairs may grow in. To avoid this, while taking a bath, you can treat the skin around the nipples with a gentle scrub. This will help remove dead skin cells and also prevent ingrown skin.
- You can remove black hair near the nipples by epilation. The procedure is performed using a special epilator cream. The effect from it will last longer than from tweezers, since the cream destroys the bulb. It is important to remember that epilator cream is not suitable for everyone, as it can cause an allergic reaction.
And you should not apply cream to the nipple itself, as it is very sensitive. - Chest hair on girls can be removed with wax or sugar paste. A fashionable way to get rid of unwanted vegetation is sugaring (removal with sugar paste). If you undergo this procedure for a long time, the hairs will become thinner and their number will decrease.
- Women can also remove them with laser hair removal. It is enough to undergo only 1 procedure to say goodbye to them forever. It is painless, but is more expensive compared to other methods. An important point is that before undergoing the procedure, a woman must visit a mammologist.
Now we have learned why hair grows on nipples and how to remove them. What tips should you pay attention to to avoid negative consequences:
- Under no circumstances should you cut your hair. This may make new ones more noticeable.
- When carrying out an independent procedure, be sure to treat your hands with an antiseptic so that when getting rid of chest hair you do not get an infection.
- If hormonal imbalances have occurred, your doctor will tell you how to get rid of chest hair. You cannot self-medicate.
Unwanted hair on the mammary glands in women is a common occurrence. Not many women can say that they don't have hair growing on their nipples. These are the statistics. So don't worry about it.
How to get rid of hair
If unwanted vegetation causes discomfort, then you should consider removing it. But before you decide to remove hair, you need to get the approval of a specialist. The following safe methods exist:
- Electrolysis. This procedure involves applying current pulses to the hair follicle. In this case, the electric discharge penetrates to the depth of the hair follicle and burns it. In addition, electrolysis is painless, so it is suitable for those with a low pain threshold.
- Laser hair removal. A special laser beam penetrates the root of the hair and affects it. This procedure will only be effective for those who have black chest hairs. The fact is that the beam cannot affect light vegetation. To completely remove unwanted hair, you must complete a course consisting of several visits over a certain period of time.
Another important detail to consider is skin color. For those with dark skin, it is better to avoid laser hair removal, as light spots may remain on the treated areas after the procedure.
Before removing hair near the areola, you should first consult a doctor; if there are no contraindications, then visit a hair removal specialist, and only then make a decision.
Experts recommend not to carry out the removal yourself. You should not pluck hairs with tweezers, as you can not only damage their structure, but also cause an infection. You need to take into account the fact that the skin on the chest and areola are very delicate. In addition, frequent shaving or plucking leads to coarsening and darkening of the hair. The best solution would be to contact specialists in a beauty salon, where they will carry out high-quality and painless removal of vegetation using special equipment.
