Is It Normal To Have Hair Growing On Breasts?

Hi! I would like to know if it is normal for hair to grow on young teenage girl breasts. I am 17 years old, and I started noticing I had hair on my breasts when I was 16 years old. From anatomy class, I became cognizant that all girls breasts are asymmetrical, meaning that their breasts are not the same, but I happen to feel uncomfortable about my breasts being asymmetrical, because my asymmetrical breasts are really noticeable. What can I do to not feel so awkward?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Asymmetry to some extent is present in all female breasts.
Hair are also present on breast.
The number of hair depend on the general hair growth.
All individuals differ in the hair growth on the body.
This factor depends on the hereditary of the person.
At your age, the body is still growing and there are hormonal imbalances.
You needn't worry about the asymmetry of breasts.
If the asymmetry is very noticeable even when you reach adulthood, you can go for cosmetic treatment readily available now-a-days.

Thanks and take care
