Discomfort in chest area near nipple

I am a 25 year old male and I have a lump about 2 inches to the left of my left nipple.  I noticed it a couple months ago while showering.  It only really causes me discomfort when I press on it.  Any idea what this could be?

Dear brianjones101:  Male breast cancer is most common
in older men.  If you have a lump that is concerning,
you should contact your primary care physician for evaluation.

Dear Brian:

This means a trip to your doctor.  Don't try to guess what it is, please call your doctor, and soon.

Hey Brian .... My guess would be a cyst of some sort ..... please see your physician and have it checked out. No need to wonder about it ... Good Luck !
