In rare cases, nipple hair growth can be caused by taking certain medications. But most commonly, a sudden growth in nipple hair is caused by regular hormonal changes, such as the major ones that accompany pregnancy or puberty, or the more subtle ones that occur throughout your twenties and thirties. A rise in testosterone can lead to increased hair growth on your nipples, according to the Hormone Help Center of New York. Testosterone often surges in young women around the time of puberty, which can lead to new hair growth in many places, including around the nipples. Women experience their highest levels of testosterone in their late teenage years into their early 20s. During this time, an increase in hair around the edges of the nipples is normal. For some women, the condition can be embarrassing. You can see a doctor to have your testosterone levels checked and determine whether the amount of nipple hair growth you are experiencing is typical.
