Can have removed: Adolescent gynecomastia -- i trust the diagnosis is correct. If this annoys you, any surgeon can remove it in the office. Although this is fairly common, you have a right to be like other guys; it's not right but there is a stigma to this. Being a teenaged boy is difficult enough without having something like this untreated.
