Talk:Supernumerary nipple

message: I've seen pictures on a medical site of one on the bottom of somebody's foot. It said it was extremely rare, but possible.
Also: e-celebrity Matt Lush has one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.193.142.201 (talk) 00:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The words polythelia and polymastia sound like plurals in which case they need to be replaced with the singular equivalents in the first line of the article. -- Sundar 05:58, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
: Nope; their format is plural because of their contruction; "poly" means "many". — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 11:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is late, but your explanation is wrong: these two words derive from Greek, and would be correctly transliterated as polythelía and polymastía. The stress is on the last "i", and the ending is the female "-a", which is not plural. Compare: manía. -- megA (talk) 23:23, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I've removed "Eccentrica Gallumbits from the book and BBC series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".  Apparently she has three breasts, and thus her third nipple is a fully developed one, not an "extra" supernumerary one. Gamaliel 08:07, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Incorrect examples

message: This article needs to be merged with Polymastia/Accessory breast, badly.  Both have salient facts that belong in both articles, the conditions are the medically the same except for a different ICD10 code, and either the facts as they appear in the article are going to continue to diverge and be piecemeal, or the articles will end up so similar you could pretty much just do a search-replace of "nipple" to "breast" to turn one article into the other.  This is a prime candidate for a merge.  Even the ICD10 code in the DiseaseDisorder infobox can probably be fixed like so:
  ICD10          =  (breast) |
  ICD10          =  (nipple) |

replies: text: OK, I've done a lot of ground work cleaning up these articles' formatting to make a merge go smoothly.  I would suggest that "Supernumerary nipple" be the real page name, and all the other terms redirects to it. The lead in para could beging something like "A Supernumerary breast (also accessory breast, known technically as polymastia or mammae erraticae) is...  A supernumerary or accessory nipple (polythelia) is a similar condition, lacking a full breast structure. ..."  — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 11:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: I am not sure the image is really clear - if so I can easily provide more pics (it's me on the picture). I have an aunt that had problems while being pregnant so I am pretty sure they are extra nips in case someone has doubt.
I am guessing it is genetical since my brother and a few of my cousins also have extra nipples. Perhaps someone can add something about this if it is known.

replies: text: I don't think the image is appropriate if you haven't had a doctor confirm that they are nipples. Without a doctor's diagnosis, it's just a picture of some guy's chest with arrows pointing to what look a good deal like freckles. I'm not doubting your assessment, please understand, but the photo isn't very illustrative and you've already confirmed that you're just guessing they're nipples. --joeOnSunset 06:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If necessary, I can provide a picture of my 3rd nipple, which I did have a doctor confirm.  Also, I do agree that the current photo is not clear.Joedamadman (talk) 07:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick comment about your classification system 1-8, you have classified type 1 nd 4 as the same thing, they are not, see below 
present system:1-8 (starts with 1 = complete breast--> to 8= hair only

1.  "supernumerary breast of the axilla"
   By Adib A. Aughsteen, MBChB, PhD, Jamal K. Almasad, MD, FRCS, Mohammed H. Al-Muhtaseb, MD,  PhD.
"Polymastia and polythelia are well documented
breast anomalies in humans, and have been classified
into eight types:12 - Type 1- complete breast with
areola and nipple; Type II- supernumerary breast
with nipple only; Type III- supernumerary breast
with breast tissue and areola only; Type IV- ectopic
or aberrant breast tissue only; Type V pseudomamma
consists of fat with areola and nipple;
Type VI- polythelia (nipples only); Type VII- areola
only (polythelia areolaris); and Type VIII- patch of
hair only (polythelia pilosa)."

Last Updated: February 1, 2007 by Aryeh Metzker, MD, Consulting Staff, Department of Pediatric Dermatology
"classification established by Kajava in 1915 is still valid (De Cholnoky, 1939): 
•	Complete SN - Nipple and areola and glandular breast tissue 
•	SN - Nipple and glandular tissue (no areola) 
•	SN - Areola and glandular tissue (no nipple) 
•	Aberrant glandular tissue only 
•	SN - Nipple and areola and pseudomamma (fat tissue that replaces the glandular tissue) 
•	SN - Nipple only (the most common SN) 
•	SN - Areola only (polythelia areolaris) 
•	Patch of hair only (polythelia pilosa)"
please correct this mistake

message: It appears that this merger was informally proposed back in 2006, but few editors weighed in (supportively) and no action was taken.  I am proposing this in hope that a consensus can be reached some definitive action will be taken. --Scray (talk) 17:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Oppose merge; two distinct topics with a superficial appearance. Support adding redirects (if they're not there) from the technical names to the "popular" names; having a auxillary nipple, I'd never heard the technical names until this post. htom (talk) 23:41, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The article specifies this condition as having a third nipple. It doesn't say 'more than two', but stresses it is only one additional. However people with extra nipples have three, four, and more. Should that be corrected? Gil_mo (talk) 21:22, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The trivia on this, like many other articles, needs to basically be removed. That some random celebrity or fictional character had a third nipple is irrelevant. It adds zero understanding to the subject, and is the very definition of WP:TRIVIA.--Crossmr (talk) 04:43, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I find that impossible to believe. There are two sources given for this but the second one from the BBC says 1 in 18 people have an extra one. I don't have access to the other source. Is that a typo? __209.179.0.121 (talk) 05:22, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
