Nipple issue

by masepa, Apr 27, 2007 12:00AM
Hi, Im male 22 years old. A few weeks back my right nipple started hurting. It doesnt hurt but if I bump it against something there is pain, I can put my finger on it and push down but its uncomfortable. The pain is not constant but when I bump it there is pain, so Ive been feeling it with my fingers to see if I could push it down as far as the other nipple and Ive discovered that there is like hard tissue around the top of the nipple. When I feel it it is hard and my left nipple isnt like that. Im very concerned it could be something serious like breast cancer. I know its not common amongst men and that Im young but its worrying me. What could it be, does it sound like cancer?
