Having two nipples on one breast is generally a congenital developmental abnormality. When this occurs, it is usually necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, followed by surgical removal. After surgery, patients need to properly care for the area and strengthen protection of the breast to prevent complications that could affect recovery.
