Liverpool student, 19, froze his nipples off with two cans of Lynx

A Liverpool student lost his nipples after freezing them with two cans of Lynx.

One day in his school changing rooms, the student, who asked not to be named, was dared to empty two full cans of Lynx onto his nipples.

The teenager stood with his chest exposed to a gathered crowd as a classmate emptied two full cans onto his nipples.

He explained: "At first it's just cold. It's not really a big thing. And then it starts to burn and you're just there waiting for it to finish.

"It was fine, it was all fine. Then the boy who was actually freezing my nipples, he flicked both my nipples. And that's when the nipples fell off.

"Have you ever seen a wart? It was exactly like that."

The University of Liverpool student added: "It hurt. It was like raw, exposed skin. As soon as he flicked it, you could see that there was a discolouration."

At the time, the 19-year-old maths student from London was 15 and determined to "showboat" in front of his friends.

Little did he know he'd be nipple-less for the rest of his life.

News flew around the school so "every boy knew" by the time he'd changed out of his PE clothes and made it to his German lesson.

He said: "I'm in German, just sitting, and my nipples are now gone. I'm just chilling, and then people are like, 'Your shirt is bleeding'.

"And you just see two blood stains from both my nipples.

"My German teacher actually stopped the lesson and was like, 'What's going on? Do you need to go to the medical room?', and I was like, 'Nah it's fine'."

People usually reacted with disbelief when the remarkably nonchalant teen reveals his lack of nipples.

A call to his friend or a flash of his chest lead to laughter, including when he was with his first girlfriend.

He'd do it all again if he was back in that changing room now.

But he does urge caution for anyone considering freezing their nips after he shared his story with the uniofliverpoolmemepage on Instagram.

He said: "I put myself in this position because I accepted the dare.

"Now that I look back on it, it's just like, it's stupid, it happened. Now I've got no nipples."
