Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Male nipples: that are sore could simply be from an irritation from your clothing, dry skin, or something more important. The sensitivity may be from a hormonal change or imbalance. Please see your doctor. He/she can test and let you know. Peace and good health.

Hi doctors. I am a 62 year-old male. I feel a very intermittent not large lump near only my left nipple that is intermittently tender. If the diagnosis of male breast cancer were to be confirmed, do I lose my entire left breast? Is it totally cut out?
