Jay: If your question is about supernumerary breasts, it is not uncommon
for people (both men and women) to have extra nipples (in the case of
women, occasionally extra breast tissue as well), along what is known as
the "milk line", which runs from the armpit down to the groin.  That is
what supernumerary means, just a fancy term for "extra".  In some women
with this condition, they may not realize they have this extra tissue in
their armpit until they get pregnant and have the baby, when this tissue
swells at the same time as the breasts, and they think they've developed
a tumor or something.  Alicia.  [log in to unmask]
