Cyst: The trauma from the nipplie piercing likely caused a small cyst to form, which is a lump of grease( sebum )in the area. Try hot compresses for ten minutes every day, but you may to need to have it removed by a doctor. It is not dangerous in any way.

Gynecomastia: During the first part of puberty boys can develop breast tissue. This is usually a normal condition and resolves on its own. However if it persists through mid to late puberty then it might need to be treated (removed.)
