No: Most gynecomastia related to pubertal changes will fade over a year or so. When it persists beyond a year surgical removal of the glandular tissue is the treatment. If you live near a medical school you may be able to get this done on a sliding scale payment system or less cost by surgeons training younger surgeons on the procedure.

Maybe: First, is it true gynecomastia? Real glandular tissue, not just fat? If so, some men respond to tamoxifen. This is off label use. And I would not recommend in someone in his teens because your bone growth (and therefore increase in height) is not done yet and tamoxifen might interfere. Also, this should resolve on its own when you are completely done with puberty.
