it is something called gynecomastia... it occurs when you have hyperplasia(growth) of a group of cells stimulated by (usually) excess estrogens circulating through your body. it often occurs in obese men since increased estrogens are found in men who have excess bodyfat. if you are not careful, gynecomastia can make a man's chest look more like a womans.... you need to go to the doctor and let him know about it and if you are on the heavy side, you need to talk to him/her about an exercise program for you.

i anticipate you propose that you've areolas yet no nipple that protrudes out. in many circumstances called flat nipples. they are standard besides the actual undeniable truth that it will be a difficulty breast feeding at the same time as the time comes. Btw once you've flat nipples at age 20 they is normally that way your complete existence.

could be that your nipple is inverted or there may be a small infection..whatever..this is an easy on of the doctor..most likely he'll know what it is in a minute of seeing it..but sweetie..he does need to see it..so tell your mom..and STOP squeezing it..it will only make it sorer and your"friends" are *******s for suggesting it...youre fine but time to deal with it..you can do it...

It's probably just a cyst. You can make an appointment with a doctor and sometimes they will cut it out and sometimes they will drain it with a needle. Get it checked anyway to be sure that it's not something else.

DON'T worry about it.
It's all a part of puberty. I had them on both nipples and they hurt really bad especially if you hit them on something. But don't worry they will go away I talked to my dad and a doctor.

It is either a cyst or breast cancer. Considering you are 14 and male it is most likely a cyst and will go away with time. I use to get those things in my nipples.

Ask you parent/gaurdian to take you to the Dr. This isn't something a 14 year old should have to deal with.

Might be a tumour. Consult your doctor immediately.
