Please help! i have a very painful ball in my nipple i am a boy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Transient problem: About a half of males will undergo a transient nipple/breast enlargement at he onset of puberty. Normally it will resolve slowly as other hormonal changes kick in over about a year. Carrying around extra weight can aggravate the issue as fat can masquerade as breast tissue. Check with your doc if you want to be sure.
