Le me help: Every lump in the breast for a man or woman should be checked out to see if it is fatty deposit or not? This is very important. When check it out and your doctor say it is normal then you rest if you do not always you will be worry. Thank you for the question.

C Physician: Based on your description, i think you will benefit from an in-person examination by your physician. Physical examination will go a long way in differentiating masses that are concerning (versus gynecomastia) and potentially require additional workup, such as x-ray evaluation. Best wishes.
