Question 1

Accepted Answer

Congrats! Puberty: It certianly sounds like pubertal changes  breast tisuue can begin anywhere in the breast area during puberty - it does not have to start right under the nipple.  Tender is good too, although she may not think so.  It's the non-tender breast masses that would be of more concern.  And usually one side starts before the other (usually the dominant hand), so the fact it's just one side is ok to start.

Question 2

are lumps beneath the nipples normal?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes.: Medications, hormonal imbalances, substance abuse all can affect the breast tissue.  If both breasts equally affected, unlikely to be tumor.  If new and persistent, would encourage MD visit.

Gynecomastia: Men have breast tissue, too, but it's usually not an issue unless they have more estrogen relative to testosterone, which is common in obesity, leadin got moobs or man boobs, medically known as gynecomastia.

Question 10

i have inverted nipples and an uneven lump. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Need to be checked: If the inversion of your nipple is recent especially if it is associated with a breast lump you definitely need to see a breast care specialist for further evaluation and to check for possibility of a malignancy. If the inversion has been a long standing issue and if the lump is in your other breast they may not be related; but still you need to be medically checked. Do not procrastinate.
