Here are the most common queries she fields about nipples:
Why are my nipples flat or inverted?
Some nipples don't protrude because the connective tissue in the deeper layers of skin tugs on the underside of the nipple, pulling it downward. In some cases, flat or inverted nipples can be treated with a filler like Restylane or Juvéderm. If the nipples don't respond to injections, a simple surgical procedure that cuts and loosens the ligaments pulling down on the nipple may be an alternative.

Is it strange for women to have nipple hair?
Nipple hair is more common than you'd think, although it's actually more likely to sprout from the areola than the nipple itself. While it is safe to pluck nipple hair or clip it with cuticle scissors, waxing may irritate the sensitive skin around the nipples. If you're a woman and you suddenly notice a large number of hairs growing on your breasts, it may be a sign that you have a hormonal imbalance, which you should discuss with your doctor.

What are these bumps on my areola?
Bumps on your areola may be a sign of enlarged and clogged oil glands. Squeezing may turn the bumps into pimples or nasty boils, so try to leave them alone. If the bumps drain liquid or pus, or don't go away on their own, tell your doctor.

Should I be worried about having an extra nipple?
Yes, that's right — some people have extra nipples. Technically known as supernumerary nipples, they're usually much smaller than the main nipples, and they tend to appear on the chest below the main ones. Not to worry though — they're relatively common, and they're usually harmless. However, if your extra nipple feels tender, grows, or changes in shape or appearance, consult your doctor.
