Q83.3: Accessory nipple
You have an extra nipple. This condition is congenital, which means you were born with it.
The breast is made up of fatty tissue, connective tissue and the mammary gland. Milk is produced in the mammary gland during and after pregnancy so that the child can be fed. Milk is dispensed through the nipple.
An extra breast or nipple may be located in an inconvenient place. Clothing may rub against the extra breast or nipple, which may cause discomfort.
