I Have a Birth Defect

I was born with polymastia. Ever since birth, I had these four spots below my nipples, in two lines down my abdomen. We didn't think much of them, and just though they were moles.

I went into puberty at around 10, and a little over a year later, after my breasts had started developing, I noticed the "moles" had started slightly developing as well, slightly showing little bumps on them, similar to my nipples.

At 10, I had an examination where my parents and me were told they were in fact nipples, a total of four. I was kind of scared, but the doctors were unsure whether or not there was going to be any extra breast tissue with the nipples in the future.

When I was 12, my breasts were almost C-cups, and at this point, two of the other 'breasts' had been growing for a short while as well, becoming a slightly raised area around two of the extra nipples.

Now that I'm 16, I have a pair of DD-cups with a pair of D-cups right below them. All of them are shaped like regular breasts, and the extra nipples look just like my normal ones.

I wear a regular bra and a smaller, strapless bra below it when I'm at school and in public or with friends, and most of my friends know about my condition, and are very accepting. I still wear slightly baggy clothes so it doesn't show so obviously, because I still get stares in public.

I'm open for any questions if you have some :)

Yeah not having proper air conditioning here sucks a lot.... -_-
At times it's hotter inside than it is outside the apartment where I live.
It's kind of amazing I haven't had heat stroke again, inside or outside in the hot and humid. I like warm weather usually but not to this degree of insanity.
