My baby was born with what looks like a scar/dimple on his lower rib cage. It appears to be growing with him. No discolouration or anything else.

Silly me didn't think to mention at 8 week check up. Anyone any idea what this is.

What does it feel like?

It just feels like a dimple, soft and nothing else looks or feels abnormal.

Third nipple. My DH’s brother has one and so do most of the men in his family.

Apparently Harry Styles also has one.

I just googled and it looks exactly like a third nipple. Thanks for that. How strange and apparently more common than I knew. Will run past GP next time anyway.

Bodies are weird and wonderful. Glad to put your mind at rest
