A member asked:

Ive had gynecomastia for a little over 2 years. my nipples still seem soft and protrude slightly. are there any signs that tell me its going away?

Not really: Pubertal gynecomastia will occur in 1/3 to 1/2 of males & generally last about a year before fading.Up to 3 years is noted occasionally before disappearing. Overweight kids can appear to have it from just fat accumulation.If present after 3 years, surgical removal of the glandular tissue & liposuction of any associated fatty tissue will do the job.

Yes: A physical examination by a doctor experienced in gynecomastia and follow up examinations can help determine if your current stage is resolving/going away.
