A member asked:

I'm 16, male and am currently overweight. i have very large and pale areolas and large man boobs. will my areolas shrink with weight loss? thank you!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Large male breast will usually shrink with weight loss. If this is not the case you may have a hormonal abnormality. The sooner you lose the weight the better.
