A member asked:

I have a lump under my right nipple. is this apart of puberty or should i get it checked out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?????????????????: You give no helpful data.About half of males will develop nipple or breast enlargement at the onset of puberty in one or both sides.It usually lasts up to a year before regressing. It can be exaggerated by being overweight.
