We just visited : If your nipple got really purple, I will bet it is scar. Or it may well be gynecomsstia. Your cancer risk is near zero, and if this is cancer, it will enlarge or ulcerated. Show your physician on your next office visit or if you want it removed.

Breast Cancer: is quite rare in a male and a small amount of breast tissue under the nipple quite common in young males! I would , however, get this checked out by a quick Physical Exam by your Primary Care Provider! Hope this helps! Dr Z
