Puberty: I firmly suggest you have it examined by your pediatrician- a nodule under your nipple is not common, especially in a male. You need to be sure its not a cyst or mass. Do not be scared, but please see your doctor.

If the process is unchanged after 2-3 yrs ; you've made an effort to lose any extra weight, it is time to discuss it with a surgeon. No meds will fix i
