Accessory nipple removal

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Surgery to remove extra nipples?

I have two extra nipples. I have had them since I was born and I hate them. I can wear swimsuits with nice tops because they show they are right below my original ones.

I'm now 17 and want to remove them. Are there home remedies? I heard wart remover works? And if not, I have insurance. Will it cover it and will it hurt? Thanks so much.

Accessory nipples are very easy to remove and the scar will almost always be less visible than the nipples were.  Please don't use wart remover, that sounds barbaric!  Go to a plastic surgeon for the best result.
