While male breast cancer is unusual, it does happen and only proper evaluation and tests can exclude it as a possibility. Gynecomastia can also be a sign of other systemic disorders. Go see your doc and discuss all these issues in detail. Treatments depend on the diagnosis, which is not clear from these symptoms.
