It is called gynecomastia or psuedogynecomastia (fake). It is benign--meaning not cancerous or harmful.

It is very common in boys going through puberty and is not something for you to be alarmed about. It is one of the most common reasons young men rush to the doctor's. One out of 4 boys have this as their hormones get imbalanced as they head into puberty. A little too much estrogen, and you get lumps under one or both nipples. Most likely as your hormones level out, the lumps will go away. If they become embarrassing or very painful, have them out. Otherwise, be happy that you are already heading into manhood/puberty. Congratualations.

Tee tree oil and lavendar products can also help this occur. Don't use them.

Check your testicles for lumps, bumps, pain, etc. If you have any nipple discharge, see a doctor.

You could have a doctor check you out to be on the safe side. Most cases of breast bumps in boys go away on their own in a year. If not, then your doctor can do some tests and get to the bottom of it. Most will give you a physical and have you come in every six months just to help you not worry and to make sure there is nothing else going on.

I wish you the best. Hope this helped you and you feel less scared and more informed. Look it up yourself under "gynecomastia in prepubescent males" or just gynecomastia to find out more. WebMD is a good source for health questions.

probably a cyst. Have mom or dad take you to your doctor. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about
