Pain: make an appointment for an exam. Some men have something called gynecomastia but that is typically in teenagers, not in a 40 year old. You may have an infected cyst too. Breast cancer does occur in men too, so go see a doctor to get it evaluated.

Usually: this is due to gynecomastia. See your doctor for an evaluation to make sure.
