I'm a 15 year old male. My nipples are both puffy and tender, looks swollen and there is a bump in each one. I am going through puberty right now, so would that cause it? Also, I am overweight but losing weight and it still isnt helping. Any ideas? Anyone know how to fix this?

Please don't worry, many boys do have a small amount of breast enlargement during puberty due to the change in hormone levels. Some boys have no change in breast tissue at all while others might get a small increase in nipples or even breast tissue. It will not stay this way forever though so don't be worried. It will go down on its own after a while. If you are concerned you can get someone to take you to your family physician and you can ask them how long they think it will last (I don't remember off hand). If you think that it is noticeable you might want to wear an extra shirt.

appears like you've inverted nipples. i'm no longer particular what a non-nursing human being does, yet once you're breastfeeding, they make those shields that could help draw the nipple out. i do not have self assurance there's a link between the nipple and breast maximum cancers. Oh, the outer area is termed your aerola. i might want to save the understanding about the breast maximum cancers in the kinfolk and make sure that you do self checks and get checked by technique of your well being care provider each and every year. more desirable sensible secure than sorry, top?

I'm 15 and I am going through puberty and I had the exact same thing. They hurt really bad but they do go away. Just don't worry about it dude and don't hit anything cuz it hurts like hell.

It is natural. Don't worry. Weight has nothing to do with it.
Just part of growing up. It does give you some idea of what being a girl is like, but it will be gone before you know it.

You need to tell your parents and get that checked out.
It's probably hormone related but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Men CAN and DO get breast cancer. Don't mess with that.
Get to the doctor.

I'n not sure. I do however, request that you have your parents make an appt. with your dr. asap to get it checked. Not sure if it's puberty-or something more serious. Take care.
