Hair On Nipples; Does Shaving/waxing/plucking = Cancer?

question: I am a female with hair aorund my nipples and breasts. I really want to remove the hairs as they get me down. But I have heard that using creams/waxing/plucking in that area can cause breast cancer. Is this true? And how can I get rid of the hairs?

Absolutely not! I don't know who told you this, but that's absolute bull-honky. I shave those hairs too, because they get me down too Smile

They few I have they don't really bother me. I would not dare to pluck them or wax them because like shaving then they grow more so I rather leave them alone.
