A member asked:

I have swelling under my left nipple.this appears a hard lump. i feel slight pain whenever i touch it.shoud i go for check up?

Yes: Especially at your age, this is almost certainly gynecomastia. It's common, and it's easy to remove if it bugs you. The next time you're at your physician's office, let him/her know and ask for suggestions.
