In 5th grade we had one of those puberty
classes where the nurse comes and explains
things that will soon start changing us.
During the class she goes into the subject
of how male cheast will start to grow and
sometimes small bumps will appear on our
nipples, and that when squizzed a white
substance comes out. well this had me
worried because ever since birth i have
had a bump on my right nipple that fit
that description... It has always been
there and Im unsure of what it is? anytime
I squzze it, a stringy white substance
comes out. Should I be worried, or is it
just somthing like a abnormity?

Acne is typical during puberty is more
common in males than females. The white
substance that comes from the bumps when
they are squeezed is, in fact , a
stagnated sebum from the sebaceal glands
in the skin. A bump that has been around
since birth is probably not acne and you
SHOULD see a dermatologist for proper
diagnosis and treatment of this skin
disorder.
