A member asked:
Does puberty affect nipples on guys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It often does: Around 1/3 &1/2 of males will respond to low levels of hormones in early puberty with nipple enlargement & a small amount of spongy breast tissue just under the nipple.It may affect one or both sides & last about a year in most cases before gradually going away.Rarely it can last longer.
