I would NOT recommend electrolysis. Don not recall where I read it, but one
woman who did this had severe loss of sensation in nipple/breast and a
marked reduction of milk production following electrolysis.

I would have been surprised to predict this, since the electrical killing
of the hair follicle is supposed to be limited to that follicular space
only, but obviously, it must do something to other tissue, such as nearby
nerves, etc.




Def. of LC service: "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
