" &amp;quot;My nipples are huge and hairy. It&amp;#039;s really embarrassing when the hair sticks out from my swimsuit and people see it. I want to do something to make the hair stop growing and make it so there is not as much. What can I do? Also, is this normal?&amp;quot; Ellie, 15, Mill Valley, CA The amount of hair girls have on their body varies from girl to girl. As you&amp;#039;ve probably noticed, in some areas of the world there tends to be less body hair while in others it&amp;#039;s quite common. Some girls have hair on their top lip; some have hair on their nipples. It&amp;#039;s actually not uncommon.   You have many options for removing your nipple hair. You could try tweezing (although in an area that sensitive it might be a bit painful), laser treatment (although this can be expensive), or even sugaring (a type of waxing).   Some girls have some extra hair due to an overabundance of hormones known as androgens, which may be overproduced by the ovaries or the adrenal gland. Sometimes in these cases, the period becomes abnormal, too. A gynecologist or adolescent medicine doctor can help check your hormone levels. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
