Breast Buds: It is not really something you can continue to hide, they will continue to develop.  you have already found that bandaids don't work.

This is all normal especially the feelings you are having.

Question 5

how to tell if breast buds are to appear?and my nipples feel sensitive to the clothes i wear what does it signal?

Accepted Answer

You'll feel lumps: I am assuming you are taking feminizing hormone therapy, hopefully under supervision of a doctor! by starting estrogen therapy you stimulate the formation of breasts. Usually within a few months you will notice the nipples raising slightly and breasttissue develop. Nipple tenderness is very common just as when going trough puberty! there is some individual variation in when exactly this occurs.

Missing context: You get the most from this site if you provide background information before you ask a question. Is this about a male or a female ? The answer is quite different for both. You are welcome to start over.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Breast buds are made of breast tissue.  In a medical sense they are one in the same.  See your doctor to know if you are developing normally, why continue to worry?

Question 8

what is different between breast buds and breasts?

Accepted Answer

Same: Breast buds are just early breast tissue.  If biopsied and put under the microscope you could not tell them appart.

Question 9

what are breast buds like, and are they hard inside?

Accepted Answer

Breast buds: Breast development begins with the nipple-arroela starting to bulge out a little with soft tissue, it progresses to a slight darkening ot the color and fuller breast cones will gradually spread out in all directions with the nipple usually centered until the girl reaches around 16-18 yrs when fully mature.  The age varies but full develpment takes years. Hardness is normal.

Question 10

why do men have breast buds and what are they made of?

Accepted Answer

Breast tissue: During puberty, adolescent males develop transient bilateral breast buds (made of breast tissue).  Breast tissue is hormonally senstive so it is likely to change during the time of puberty.  If a 'breast bud' persists and is unilateral (one side only)-- it should be evaluted.  Young men may develop breast cancer (usually those with brca1/2 gene abnormalities).
