I'm a male and i'm 17 years old and my nipples are constantly erect, i'm not sure what causes it but it makes me insecure about my body, any solutions?

Hard to say: This may be related to an adolescent issue called gynecomastia, where your nipples (and underlying tissue)expand in puberty in about half of males. This reflects sensitivity to the tiny amount of estrogen even males have in their blood.It often lasts 6m to a year before fading.Your doc could confirm this.Persistance beyond 3 years often requires a surgical procedure.
