Removal of accessory nipple

The third nipple is a rare condition that occurs men and women and affects about 2-6% of the population. So, if you have a third nipple, know that you are not alone.

HOW THE THIRD NIPPLE DEVELOPS

The third nipple develops around 4-5 weeks of development as an embryo. We don’t know what causes it, but we do know that breast tissue begins to develop from two lines along the milk line that goes from the groin to the breast. Sometimes a third nipple can develop along this line.
