Welcome and Good Evening
Your concern
1. Have two extra nipples/ accessory nipples
since birth
2. There is no itching, redness, or lump around
nipple
3. Feeling awkward as on Google search with
such accessory breast tissue the other
abnormal associations of kidney, testes,
penile and brain
4. I am worried about it. My age is 22 years
5. There is no family history of cancers in my family
6. So I am worried about extra nipples
Accessory breast tissue is found in 6% of total population
The incidence of accessory best cancer is 0.3% to 0.6%
In extra nipples or polytheliya there is as such no breast tissue so the chances of Cancer is very rare
Regarding accessories breast tissue and coexistence of congenital and nephro-urinary anomalies the studies on record are controversial but some studies are indicative of such relationship
There is no lump in and around the extra nipples and family history of carcinoma is also not there
So you should not be worried
