I've done lots of research on this
subject, because I know it isn't uncommon.
However, I haven't heard of a case similar
to mine.
I have very thick and dark nipple hair. It
is strange hair and I don't have anything
like it anywhere else on my body. The
hairs are so thick and dark that they can
be seen underneath the skin. Often they
can be squeezed out. Other times they
surface and when I pluck them, they are
long below the surface and they have a
thicker black end. They are very corse, so
to let them grow out would be absurd! When
I try to pluck or squeeze them out, it
doesn't always work since they are so
thick. My nipples end up scabbing and it
is so embarrassing! There are about 10 per
nipple around the areola. I really have a
hard time believing electrolysis would
work as they grow in infrequent places.
It makes me very self conscious and I hope
there is something that can be done about
it! Please help!

I have a problem similar to yours, I do
have hair around mine as well. Not like
you describe by any means, but what I do
is shave. It might sound weird but it is
your best bet.

plucking is best. i read somewhere that
shaving that area might make it prone to
infection (the pores around the nipple)

If the hairs are already dark and thick,
then shaving would most likely cause MORE
dark and thick hairs to grow out, so I
wouldn't advise that. Same thing with your
legs, the first time you shaved them they
were just little blond hairs, now look at
them.
I would just pluck if there are only ten
per breast, it pulls the entire root out
so you have more time before the hair
comes back. Nair and Veet only burn off
the surface of the hair.
As for the hairs under the skin that you
can see, perhaps refrain from squeezing
the hair out since a scab or a red spot it
more noticable, and just put a bit of your
skin coloured make up on them if you know
your breast are going to be bared.
Remember; these little tiney-weenie
insecurities of ours (which are actually
HUGE) are seldom ever taken notice by
others.

thats actually a myth that hair grows back
darker and thicker...it just feels that
way bc you have shaved it..also, i
wouldn't reccommend nair for the nipple
area since that skin is more sensitive
