I'm 19, and have not been to bed with a guy yet.

All my life, I've had a little round, brown bump on the left side of my chest, just below my breast.

Last week I went to the doctor's with a cough. While she was examining me, she stunned me by suddenly announcing: "Ah, I see you have an extra nipple." This has really shattered me. I now feel that I'll never be able to have a sexual relationship, because doubtless the man would think that my body looked weird.

I'm so sorry that the doctor's comment upset you. In fact, huge numbers of people - both female and male - have small extra nipples, These are usually located a few inches below the "ordinary" nipple. In many cases, it's so small the person doesn't realize it's a third nipple. Sex partners are likely to think it's just a little wart or birthmark. But if yours is pretty prominent, I don't think you should hesitate to have it removed surgically. A plastic surgeon could take it away for you quite easily and only leave a tiny scar.
