How does this lump look?
How big is and did appear suddenly?
Is it located in the dark area around the
nipple or just on the nipple?

How big is the lump?
When did this start?
It is possible for a boy to have breast
cancer, and I would recommend you going to
a doctor to get it checked out.

Think I have the same. Posted: 02-09-08 21:33pm
I think i have the samething. I first
noticed it as a teen and had it checked
out by a doc. He diognosed it as something
called pre adolescant ____(forgot the
last word, I am now 41 and had it checked
about 25 yrs ago) but if its the same
thing it can get a little tender
sometimes. It happens to a degree in
something like 1 out of 10 males but its
pretty much harmless. I still feel mine.
Please dont take this as a diognosis and
not get it checked out but i remember
feeling the exact same way with the same
feeling. Please still have a family doc
check you. Good luck.

Extra breast tissue (less than 1-1/2
inches across) located directly under the
nipple in teenagers is known as pubertal
gynecomastia. It can be presented on one
side or on both sides and it can be
caused by changes in hormones at puberty
or some kind of disease can be the
underlying reason.
As many as 65% of 14-year-old boys have
gynecomastia.
In most cases, no treatment is needed, but
is a good idea to visit your doctor.

Hi, pankaj! Posted: 02-21-08 03:00am
Lumps located directly under nipples and
tender breasts are symptoms of
gynecomastia.
Do you take some medicines or illegal
drugs?
Are you suffering from chronic illness
(liver, kidney disease)?
Do you have some thyroid disorders?

You are welcome anytime!
Young boys and adult with this condition
need to visit a doctor, because an
underlying condition can be a reason for
that. Solving or keeping the underlying
condition under control, can resolve
gynecomastia problem.
You should be checked for hormone
imbalance and some other test may be
performed (mammogram, biopsy)
I think you shouldn't worry about breast
cancer, because it is very rare in males
and lumps caused by cancer are usually not
underneath the nipple, where breast tissue
from gynecomastia grows.
