this is a really embarassing question, but why do i notice little hairs around my breasts? i have read that i shouldn't worry, which i am not, but i would like to know why that is there. also is there any way that isn't harmful to my body to remove it...i don't like how it looks. THANK YOU!

If you feel the hairs are excessive, don't be embarrassed to ask your nurse or doctor to check whether or not they think you could have a hormone imbalance, although this is quite rare.
Shaving often causes spots by encouraging in-growing hairs. Rather than shaving, try a depilatory cream to dissolve the hairs away, or have them waxed off professionally.

It isn't harmful to remove it as long as you aren't tweezing or shaving it off, that could cause cysts to form. The best solution would be to clip it off. Anyway, you may want to get it check out by a doctor of some sort because it could be polycystic ovarian syndrome. Basically it is a condition caused by insulin resistance that triggers hormonal imbalances which causes excess hair growth, among other symptoms. So try telling a female adult that may have gone through it before. [ Pretty_Girl's advice column | Ask Pretty_Girl A Question ]
