My 14year old sons right nipple has pain when touched and when looked at its tender and white spongy thing inside , nipple is inside still, should i get it checked out or is it puberty?

About 1/3 to 1/2 of males will experience this or more breast enlargement as they transition through puberty. It can be one sided or both. It usually lasts 6 mo to 1 yr before fading in most. He should discuss it with his doc during his next checkup.
