Comments on: Third Nipples: Badge of Honor or Freak Show? http://pokedandprodded.health.com/2008/06/25/third-nipples/ Adventures in being sick, getting better, staying well, from the editors of Health.com Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:45:16 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Greyfur http://pokedandprodded.health.com/2008/06/25/third-nipples/#comment-3432 Greyfur Mon, 12 Jan 2009 09:49:42 +0000 http://healthpoked.wordpress.com/?p=381#comment-3432 I got two more, one was visible and the other one was almost unseen to the time I developped my body hair, which clearly marked that area. My brother has four nipples aswell, however he has the two additional more developped as me. Thanks for this interesting article. However, I am not sure how to react to the idea of removing them, as I have never thought about that... I would never let them be removed as they are part of my body and they stay there.

One near the underarm area of each arm. She did not realize this until she became pregnant. While she was lactating, the nipples oozed. She told me the "warts" under her arms had fluid coming out of them. She was afraid she had developed cancer. when she showed them to me. I said, "Those aren't warts, they are extra nipples." It doesn't bother her much. But one time she went to the doctor and he made a comment about the growths near her underarm area. When she told him they were extra nipples, he left the room and in a very loud voice, that my stepdaughter heard quite clearly from the exam room, he announced to the nurse (and possibly to the whole office, that the lady in the exam room had two extra nipples and she could feed a whole litter!!! Needless to say, she never went back to that doctor again!!! Sandra My stepdaughter has two extra nipples. One near the underarm area of each arm. She did not realize this until she became pregnant.

Her comment was "eewwww" and didn't believe it. He had to call me to confirm it. Believe it or not. I like the name "nubbin" and "triple" for them. I have passed along several sites from the web to both of them about triple nipples in males. They say you should learn something every day, so if you didn't know before, you just learned something new today.

My triple-nippled ex-beau, a lifelong Tibetan Buddhist, viewed his bonus nip as a special gift, a calling even. But more people have this than I'd thought. The BBC estimate is a whopping 1 in 18 people: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4566526.stm What a fun read! Your fellow Health.com blogger, Libby Your piece caught my eye!
