A member asked:

Two to three weeks ago i started to feel a bump on my left breast right beside my nipple, im a 20 year old male, should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: Check it frequently for growth or nipple discharge. Although men can get breast cancer, if the changes are in the skin and not in the breast tissue, it is more likely related to the nipple gland or even a hair follicle. If it grows from below or is firm, get it checked out.
