Is it normal to have several hairs growing out of a single hair follicle?

So I have this problem (I consider it a problem, anyway) where I have several hairs growing out of most of my hair follicles. I'm not sure about the hairs on my head, but I've looked at the hair follicles in my underarms, pubic area and around my... uh... nipples, and some of them have about 3 or four hairs coming out of them! It looks so abnormal to me. I can't see the same problem on my legs for some reason - the hair follicles grow normally there. My natural hair is dark and coarse and I have some South East Asian blood.

I'm a girl, by the way. Not sure if that changes anything or if it's more common in girls than guys but I thought I should mention it in case anybody was wondering.

    It's normal to have more than one hair growing out of the same spot.

    And it's normal to have hair in all the spots you mentioned.

    I have some hair strands that randomly grow out of my boobs. You could see a doctor. Some cultures embrace hair, but if you don't like it, then maybe you should shave?

    If you shave your underarms often that can happen, i have like 2 hairs that grow out on 1 hair focal sometimes but the nipples? i don't know, that is a bit strange i suppose.

    Kinda abnormal I guess. None of the nipples I have seen have hairs around them... But never been with an Asian. Just find a really hairy guy and y'all can have hairy fun time.
