My 9 year old son has a hard bump under one of his nipples. what might it be? he says it hurts just a little when he runs his finger over it. it is not red or discolored. we just found it tonight.

It's : It's not uncommon for boys to have a condition called gynecomastia during puberty. This is a slight enlargement of breast tissue--which can be very tender--but is normal. It will go away with time.
